TIFU by using Google Assistant.

The cup is old but the tea is fresh(A metaphor for a good ol' online class mess up).

I(19M) was a little sleepy today running on about 3 hours of sleep in a theory class. The teacher doesn't require us to switch on our video(there's still remote classes in my uni) all the time, thankfully. Although, there's a good chance you might get called out for only answering during the attendance and not participating in the discussions or answering questions.

So I did, I answered a couple of questions that were asked and sat back. This doesn't bother me cause I don't mind the theory that much and I usually participate in the class. Although, my sleep got the best of me today. It was just too boring to handle. So I started scrolling Reddit, Instagram, messing with my phone etc. I saw a post on one of the suggested subs saying something about "Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven(I'm not sure)". And then it struck me. My brain decided to recall a song that I used to listen to quite a bit that had the lyrics "Moonlight sonata".

It was just one of those moments where you know the tune to that one line and maybe one or two words but can't figure out the song no matter how hard you try. My sleep deprivation didn't help me either. I tried googling wither but there's only so much Google can do when you know only two words and they happen to be a song by themselves. I concentrated really hard for about 30 seconds or so before the talking of the teacher got too distracting. I then remembered that Google Assistant added this feature where you can hum a song and it'll try to figure it out for you. So I removed my earphones and started humming all that I could remember from the song.

So there I'm sat humming with all my might in my godforsaken dead ass and sleep-deprived voice just so the poor algorithm can tell me the name of the song and I can be at peace. This went on for about 2 minutes (I tried a couple of times). As expected, the assistant couldn't identify it but when I put my headphones on, I just hear laughing and soon the mocking of my hums. Didn't take more than 2 seconds to know what was wrong. God knows how much I wanted to backflip onto a remote island and live there for the rest of my life.

For all those wondering, the song is called Up Up and Away by Juice Wrld and the lyrics that were in my mind were:

"I'm walkin' in Prada, tryna solve my problems
Through the night, finding vibes, Moonlight Sonata".
It's a beautiful song, give it a listen if you have the time!

TL;DR: Started humming a song so google can identify it with my mic unmuted while my class had a good laugh.

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...
