TIfu by having the most awkward interview of my life because of a weird fetish called “Wet Sagging”

To set the scene, I need to go back a few years. I was browsing YouTube and I was in one of those situations where I went down a rabbit hole and discovered a playlist called “Wet Sagging”. The videos basically consisted of guys fully clothed with sagged pants on and typically a pair of basketball shoes. They’re either in a shower or near a body of water (There’s one where a guy filled a kitty pool up in his room) and they slowly submerge themselves in the water with a tease like manner. In a nutshell, that’s it. A ton of these videos have been made if you don’t believe me there are multiple playlists with 100s of compiled videos.

Another thing to note is I’m a hobbyist Youtuber. I don’t plan on making a great life out of YouTube, I just do it because it’s fun and I enjoy making the occasional comedy video. After finding Wet Sagging I instantly knew I had to make a video about it, so I decided to make a mockumentary. After doing a lot of weird things the video was up and life went on.

Fast forward to present day. I’ve been searching for a job for nearly a month but haven’t had much luck. After vigorously applying to many jobs, I managed to land a callback for a promising customer service job. The call was sort of a formality "get to know you" situation and the HR rep I was speaking was very outgoing and friendly. The call went well so we scheduled an interview. I was ready to knock this out of the park. I had the STAR method down pat and had a general idea on how to answer certain questions. I showed up in my best suit and met with the HR rep I had been in contact with.

From the get-go, she felt very… distant? Originally, on the phone things felt great but in person it was strange. Nevertheless, I proceeded on. I was then taken into a conference room. Inside were two other members of the team. Things seemed to be going well from my point of view. I’m awkward but I was getting through the interview and answering their questions proficiently, but I still couldn’t shake the awkward vibe coming from the HR rep.

She dropped the bomb. She told me she stumbled upon the video I made about “Wet Sagging”. I then realized how dumb I am. My YouTube channel name is literally my first and last name and the “Wet Sagging” video is set to my home screen when you visit my channel…. The other two employees almost seemed dumbfounded. I was caught like a fucking deer in the headlights. Rather than just saying yeah it was a joke I make videos in my free time. I nervously began rambling about it like: “Oh yeah it’s an online fetish people will sag their pants and hop in the water, but my video was a joke about that whole movement.”

I kept going but it began getting more and more awkward. The other two employees were in their late 40s so there was no way they’d get it. It was then I realized there was no chance I was getting this job. It was so awkwardly silent for what felt like the longest time. Finally, the HR rep said “Okay thanks for you time we’ll be in touch and ushered me out.

There is absolutely no chance I got that job but as soon as I got home I switched my home screen video. For the time being, I may privatize them I’m not sure but all I know is I will not be working there.

TL;DR Made a video about wet sagging which is a weird fetish where men with sagged pants purposely get wet. HR lady found video and during interview with two other employees questioned what it was about. I choked and began explaining the fetish to all of them. Will not land job.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
