TIFU by nicking myself while trimming my pubes and missing my date because my bathroom looked like a scene out of Dexter

I (24m) had a breakup somewhat recently and am just starting to get over it/ get excited about meeting new people. I met this really cute girl through some of my friends that is maybe a little out of my league and I was really excited to go out with her. Ive been taking care of myself much better physically lately, and I also felt the need to impress.

Now, I didn’t have hugely overgrown pubes or anything, but I thought I would go ahead and trim them down before the date to make sure I was looking good. This is where the TIFU happened. I somehow managed to nick the area between the shaft and balls quite badly with my electric razor (Not sure how I managed this), but almost immediately blood just starts gushing out. Like, a surprising amount of blood. I was frantically wiping away the blood with toilet paper and had a freak out moment. A lot was going through my mind. Do I need to go to the ER? Are one of my testicles going to just pop out of my scrotum? Will the bleeding stop?

At this point, I started feeling pretty woozy and did a little fall/ slide down the wall to reach a semi-prone position on the floor while holding tightly onto the giant wad of tissue that I believed was holding my testicles in. As I looked around the bathroom and saw the scene, I realized my hot date plans had just turned into me spending the night nursing my wounded testicles.

I ended up texting my date that my dog was sick because I’m a coward, and I think my excuse was a little lackluster because she was kind of just like, “ok”. But, to be fair, I was still in a panic when I sent that. It is now the next morning and the bleeding has finally stopped and I still have both testicles, however, I have definitely lost a date, lol. Also, the amount of blood definitely didn’t fit the size of the wound.

TL;DR: Nicked my nuts while shaving and had to miss my date due to the sheer quantity of blood that resulted.

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...
