TIFU by eating an edible and forgetting about it

So this happened yesterday. I work a boring office job. Right now, everyone else is working from home, but I am sort of the “face” of the office so I’m back at work full time. Being here alone all day and with most of our clients also remote, there’s not much for me to do. I listen to a lot of audio books and reddit a whole bunch.

I live in a legal state so I occasionally pop an edible when I’m at work (yes, my boss probably would not be thrilled to learn this). Now, I don’t want to actually get high at work, so I usually just take half a dose and it gives me a very nice, relaxed feeling that helps me ride out the day. Sometimes the piece I break off is small enough that I barely have any noticeable effect at all.

So yesterday I broke off some of a cookie. A larger chunk than I usually eat broke off but it was close to the end of the day, so I didn’t worry about it. We have a gym in our building and I usually spend the last 30-60 min of my work day just walking on the treadmill. I ate my cookie, changed and headed to the gym.

I should also mention that I’ve been intermittent fasting and eating one meal a day in an effort to shed a few lbs so I hadn’t eaten much of anything all day.

After my workout I went home, walked the dog, fed the cat and cooked some breakfast burritos for dinner. Ravenously hungry, I sat down and ate my dinner in like three bites. I guess since I was really eating for the first time, my digestion of the meal also caused me to metabolize the edible I had eaten a few hours earlier. After dinner I was chilling watching some TV and BAM I was just super high out of nowhere. There was no slow creep, I just got very suddenly very stoned.

Since I had completely forgotten about the cookie, I had no idea what was going on. Everything felt fuzzy like my head was in a cloud....you know....like I was high. But because I wasn’t expecting it, I became extremely paranoid thinking I had somehow poisoned myself. I rushed to the bathroom and made myself throw up my dinner and then just sat there staring at the wall for a few minutes before it slowly dawned on my stoned mind that I had eaten a large chunk of cannabis cookie before leaving work.

I laughed about it but man I’ve never felt so dumb AND I had to make second dinner.

TL;DR Forgot I took an edible, got super high after eating a few hours later and made myself throw up dinner thinking I had been poisoned.

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...
