TIFU: Didn't believe my friends about whitehouse dot com

This goes back many years ago, a bunch of guys from work at lunch and somehow the topic of the website for the White House (whitehouse.gov of course) comes up. Then someone asks if everybody knew about Whitehouse dot com. I hadn't but several others had and said it was a porn site. I was dubious but they insisted. Being the 'I'll believe it when I see it' type, when we got back to work I went to my cube and looked for proof. Typed in the URL and Holy Christ on a kickstand it really was porn!

About this time I hear someone approaching from down the hall, I knew I had but a few seconds so I EX out of the browser window, and spin around in my chair looking relaxed just in time to see one of our Sales Managers walk up. He puts one arm up on top of the cube wall and says "Hey, did you get..." and then gets this wide eyed stare over my shoulder. I spin back around and see what looks like about TWENTY windows popping up, all advertising porn sites, porn discounts, daily email porn, yeah, just about any porn related products you can imagine. On my CORPORATE WORK COMPUTER. I grab the mouse and start trying to click the tiny 'X' on some of the windows which only seems to create three or four more each time I do it. Then I miss one of the X's and open a whole NEW porn site. Complete with steaming, throbbing, thrusting...you get the idea.

By now I can feel my career dissipation light beginning to blink. I look back over my shoulder, he's got this big grin on his face. He says "Let me know if you find anything good" and walks away. He was cool. Never heard a word about it from anyone.

The moral; if you don't believe someone about the internet, wait til you get home to get proof.

TL:DR There used to be a porn site called white house dot com. I didn't believe it so tried the URL on my work computer...and yes, it was true.

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...
