TIFU by telling my husband I’m making him a strawberry creme shake

We are still cleaning up the mess as I’m typing this, and wiping tears from our faces because this was just too funny not to share!

So, me and my husband drink shakes almost every night before going to bed and it’s something that we started doing more on regular since the pandemic started. After the Holidays, we decided to eat cleaner, so we’ve been on a mostly whole food plant-based diet and we had to get creative with our sweet treats at night.

We usually drink chocolate shakes or thin mint, but my husband’s favorite is strawberry. He usually uses strawberry jam and strawberry Nesquik powder, but since we started doing cleaner ingredients this couldn’t work, so I came up with my own recipe: fresh strawberries, frozen banana, coconut cream, dates for sweetness and vanilla extract.

We were watching Vikings on Hulu, smoking some weed, and just relaxing on the couch with our dog (a Siberian husky) when my husband asked me if I was going to make shakes. I said that I was and I told him what I was making.

He was pretty stoned, and I guess what I was describing sounded pretty good to him, because he got so excited about his healthy strawberry creme shake that he literally squealed in delight... which scared our husky that has been having digestive problems the last few days, causing the poor baby to shit diarrhea all over our relatively new couch we got back in September, which scared her even more and she peed and went to hide behind my back.

I ended up making the healthy shakes and we are sipping them right now, but we haven’t laughed like this in a long time. We had to give baby girl a bath too, and we are still cleaning up the mess she made. I have learned my mistake and I won’t be surprising my husband with any new shakes any time soon because that squeal was out of this world — and baby girl agrees with me 100%.

TL;DR: I came up with a healthy version of my husband favorite shake that he hasn’t had since the Holidays, and at the moment I conveyed that information to him, he squealed in joy, scared our dog who’s been having diarrhea for the last few days, and made her shit all over our relatively new couch.

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 ...
