TIFU by touching a little girl and having a "nice" talk with her father

This happened to me(m) seven years ago, when I was 13 or so.

I was went on vacation in southern france with my parents, I myself am from Germany. We stayed at a campground, where there also was a swimming pool. One day my parents went for a walk and I spend the day at the pool, pretty much alone.

Really all I did was sliding down the slides and this is where it went wrong. I was in queue for the slide and waited for some little girl, probably four or five years old to slide down, but she didn't moved a centimeter. Behind me the queue was getting longer and the other kids where asking, what is taking there so long. Eventually I tried to speak to the girl in english and german but she didn't understand anything then I tried to show her with my hands that she has to slide down and not block the slide. Unsuccessful. After a few minutes I had enough and pushed her a bit with my foot, that finally made her slide down. I didn't really thought of any consequences, but they were about to come.

20 minutes later I was about to leave the pool, when a big, ca. 45-year old man came to me and asked why I touched his daughter. I was completey catched off guard by the situation and tried to explain the situation to him, which didn't really worked, because he wasn't german nor was my english good enough to communicate properly with him. I didn't even knew the word for "slide" in english. Then all of a sudden he gave me a hard push against my chest, which let me tumble a few steps to the rear and asked how I feel now that I have been pushed. I wasn't able to talk, because of how much that shocked me. Then he went off with the words: "If you ever touch my daughter again, I will kill you!". When walking back to our tent, my knees where shaking and tears came down my face.

Luckily I never saw them again.

Tl;DR: I pushed a little girl down the slide and her father shoved me really hard for that and threatend to kill me, if I touch her again.

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...
