TIFU by letting my cat investigate my face

This happened this morning. Also, this might be pretty gross to some, or many. Probably all.

So I woke up this morning and grabbed my phone to scroll Reddit while in bed for a bit before actually getting up. I rolled onto my back, face up, with my neck bent and my phone resting on my chest. Usually when Rosie (the aforementioned cat) hears me moving in the morning she knows she can extort me for pets so she comes-a-runnin. And when I lay on my back she loves to loaf on my chest.

Well I was already scrolling Reddit when she got to me so she plopped down on my chest right behind my phone and started rubbing her head on my hand/phone. I was petting her with my other other hand but she’s a needy cat and clearly that wasn’t enough. So after a minute or two I put my phone down and started petting her with two hands. To her this meant “come closer,” so she crawled closer and started investigating/smelling my face.

I said “good morning” to her and she responded “good meowning” back, as she does. But she’s more interested in smells so she starts sniffing...my eye, then my cheek, then the tip of my nose, then my mouth; she sniffed all over. During the investigation I had to yawn, so I opened my mouth. Before I went full yawn I saw her lean forward to inspect the new level she had unlocked. I didn’t think it problematic, which was my FU.

I then exhaled, and I guess my ripe morning breath was too much to handle because next thing I knew I heard a cat gag and I felt a glob of saliva like substance fall into my mouth and down my chin. Luckily it was not a full vomit, just the amuse-bouche.

I pushed Rosie away as I reflexively rolled to my side with my mouth open and tongue up. Gravity pulled most of it out and I spat out the rest. I left my mouth open as I ran to the bathroom trying to prevent any tastebuds from engaged. I then proceeded to wash my mouth with every technique to which I am familiar, and sheets went in the wash.

Moral: don’t let your cat smell your morning breath from above you.

Tl;dr: I yawed while my cat was was investigating my face and smelling my mouth in bed this morning and she spit up into my mouth.

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...
