TIFU by telling my customers and clients I'm a stressed-out little baby

This morning I was scrolling down TikTok as I usually do while having my coffee. Nothing unusual. I was liking videos, laughing, etc. Now, although I'm a responsible adult who has a job I have quite an absurd taste in humor, so when a video of a poorly animated character dancing over a lime green background on top of an equally poorly animated phone, with the music being a robot-like autotuned voice singing "whyyyYY do yoU call mEe without texting me first?? can't yOuu see I'm an anxious lil baby?? am I overreacting? mAAybe but ring ring without previous notice stresses me out" I thought it was hilarious and perfect to share on my Instagram stories. My only followers are my friends who are used to seeing me uploading weird stuff, and most of the time they find it funny too, so there was no problem, so I shared it and went on with my day.

This was in the morning, and the rest of my day was quite busy with having to clean around the house, cook lunch, and work, so I didn't pick up my phone until around 7 pm. When I finally did I realized my mistake.

Turns out I didn't switch accounts on Instagram before posting, and I had shared it in the rather popular, formal, professional and serious account I use for work have where I talk to clients. And it stayed up for more than 8 hours. I deleted it, but not without checking how many people saw it, with the results being hundreds, including regular clients.

TL;DR My childish sense of humor made me lose followers and clients, and now I don't want to use TikTok ever again.

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...
