TIFU Thought She Was 17. She Wasn’t.

So it should really be yesterday. And throwaway because if my brother finds out, my life won’t be worth living. I initially posted on AITA but it got taken down because relationships aren’t allowed.

So, I’m a 18M. I’ve been talking to a girl I met through online gaming. She said she was 17F. We’d been talking for about a month. We’d swapped numbers, been texting and Whatsapping and even sent photos. We seemed to have a lot in common and she honestly seemed really cool. We only live about an hour away from each other.

Things were going well, so we made plans to meet up at a midway point yesterday. I suggested a cafe I know; it’s quiet, but public. I know meeting someone for the first time can be daunting, particularly for a young woman.

I got there first and grabbed a table. I settled down to wait. But when she turned up, it was immediately obvious that she was a hellova lot younger than she had said. She had a lot of make up on and she still wouldn’t have got into a 15 movie without ID.

My first reaction was disbelief - she was not the person I had been expecting. Then she quotes back our last flirtatious conversation and I saw red.

I asked her bluntly and probably rudely how old she really was. She continued to claim 17. I called bullshit. I bluntly told her to prove it or stop bullshitting me. I got up to leave and she burst into tears saying she didn’t have a ride home. I told her to call her parents. We had five to ten minutes of me refusing to drive he anywhere. I was not having a minor I had been flirting with alone in my car for any time. She eventually calls her father.

I hung about while she waited for him. I might be furious but I’m still not going to leave a child alone in a random city. It perhaps goes without saying that dad was seriously unimpressed. I think if we hadn’t still been in public, he’d probably have punched me. As it was I got a right bollocking. Because yeah, I’d been flirting with his THIRTEEN year old daughter for weeks. I laid out the timeline, the messages and the photos - turns out those were her actually seventeen year old sister. I think he was more furious at her than me by the end.

TL;DR I nearly got done for child grooming because I organised a date with a thirteen year old after flirting with her for weeks. My friends think it’s fucking hilarious that I got catfished by an actual child and I can’t tell my family because my brother would never let me forget it.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
