TIFU by telling a friend I love her.

This happened last night after a lot of drinks at a bar with friends. Writing this from next to the toilet on my phone.

I(27M) have been hanging out with this girl(28F) for 3 months now. We hit it off immediately, talked every day, went out all the time. Few weeks in she told me that she is not ready for a relationship as she is not over her ex. Ok, no big deal, I'm fine with being friends.

Everything continues as normal, we hang out one on one, watch movies, have meals together, normal friend stuff. That until this Tuesday.

I was with some friends having beers, when one of them asked me if that girl and I were together. Not the first time I was asked that as we were basically inseparable. I say "No" and move on, what I didn't expect was a follow up question if I wanted to be with her.

I had asked myself that question hundreds of times but never really thought about it. Anyway I say "Yes", expecting that this would be the end of it. But no, hearing it out loud made it real for me.

Fast forward two days, I'm close to blackout drunk in a bar, and a friend of mine asks me why I haven't told her anything yet. I babble something like "Because I know what she will say." But my friend convinces me to do it now. I stand up to look for her, and I'm told she just left. I run outside to where she had parked, she is still there. In my drunk state barely standing up, I tell her that I love her.

Her reaction was exactly what I expected, "No, no, no, don't say that." She said I was drunk, and walked me home, I live like a block from the bar. She walked me to my apartment and left me inside, last I heard was her running down the stairs, and I mean running.

I texted her immediately to apologise. This morning I woke up to a message that we shouldn't be friends anymore because we want very different things.

TLDR: Got drunk, told a female friend of mine I love her and most likely lost one of my closest friends.

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...
