tifu by keeping my mammy doll gag gifts in my living room.

I’m white. Growing up my babysitter was an older black lady who had all these mammy dolls and Knick knacks in her home. She collected them, probably over a hundred mammy things in her home. They used to freak me out at night. Anyways I pretty much grew up with her grandson. Lost touch, after college re in touch and roommates with him for two years. Move apart but stay friends.

His grand mother passes, he gets her house along with the dolls. Gets married. Wife wants him to sell those racist ass dolls. I bring up again how I used to be scared of them. Christmas 2019 or so he gives me presents. We don’t normally do presents... mammy cookie jar and 2 dolls. Haha funny joke. I keep them cause his mom was like family. Stick them in a walk in closet though out of sight. February 28th I go to out of town for weekend for my birthday and he has my key and his wife was cleaning my cat’s litter box and feeding it for me. I get a call asking if I have the dolls still and tell him yeah they in the closet but not to give me anymore cause I don’t have room for them.

I come home and he put them all over my living room. Took all my nautical decorations down and put like fifteen Knick knacks on the tables and 10 dolls and that cookie jar on my book shelf being displayed. Replaced my wall stuff too. I come home to that and funny prank but come get all this stuff. He says will this weekend. Something happened and didn’t do it that weekend then lockdown happened. I’m lazy so I never put them up anywhere and wasn’t having anyone over so just left them. I actually did move some to put up the Christmas tree but I put them back when I put it up.

Well the morning I was woken up by my place shaking and loud noise. Guy drove into my house. Call cops on his dumb ass. Cops come over, dui the fucker and find drugs on him. Talking in my living room with cops cause it was raining and cold and realize I got a black officer in here and all this fucking mammy crap all over. Then another one shows up. Never been so embarrassed and now I probably have the 7 or so cops that were over thinking I’m either racist or a weirdo. My friend sounded like he was actually dying laughing and out of breath over the phone when I called to tell him what happened.

tl;dr friend pranked me by redecorating my place with mammy stuff, high guy drives into my house and black officers come in my white ass’s mammy doll filled living room.

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 ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
