TIFU by losing most of my penis in an accident with a belt sander.

This happened about a month ago, and was completely my stupid mistake. I was was using a machine at my job that had an exposed belt drive. There are clearly marked areas around this machine where you aren't supposed to stand, but people tend not to pay attention to them. I had walked into this area to pick up something I dropped and wasn't paying attention to how close I was to the spinning belt, and when I leaned over to pick it up, my pants got caught in it. It pulled me in so fast that before I could hit the shutoff it had made a huge abrasion on my thigh and sucked in my genitals. I instantly knew from the pain that it was not good and screamed for my coworker to call 911. The ambulance thankfully got there very quickly and was able to unwind the belt and take me to the hospital. The end of my dick was completely shredded and the surgeon had no choice but to amputate about half of it.

It hurt extremely badly for about a week, and only stopped being sore just recently. Getting the catheter and stitches taken out after 3 weeks was also really painful and embarrassing. Been trying to keep my mind off of it since then but I'm obviously pretty sad about the whole situation. I'm only 19 and am having a hard time imagining the rest of my life without my little buddy :-(

I still haven't completely gotten over the initial shock. I'm trying to cope somewhat and accept things by talking about it here.

Ask any questions or give any advice you want! I'd appreciate it thanks.

TL;DR Was stupid around heavy machinery, got the tip of my dick ripped off.

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...
