TIFU by running to my hot neighbors house half naked in fear or death.

Last night at about 2am my usually very placid German Shepherd started barking his ass off, so much so that it managed to cut through my comatose sleeping ability. So I(19M) thought, sure, Halloween weekend, bound to be some reason for this. Upon peeking out the front curtain and see an empty street besides a beat up civic with the interior light on parked 20m from my front door. It's fine I thought, just some people relaxing in their car (starting to get weirded out). Decide to wait up for a bit to see if they move on and if my dog will chill out. Slam! My bedroom door closes hard, my room connects directly through the back laundry to the back door. So of course my mind immediately goes to the only possible explanation that my poorly rationalizing "night brain" could come up with, robbery! Frozen, I stand there for about a minute, absolutely convinced that my house is being robbed and of course I've put myself in the one room with the hardest possible exit and no phone. With imaginary footsteps growing closer I sprint for the back window, after dropping a healthy two meters into bushes I bolt the 50m across the lawn to the neighbors. Not caring what they thought at that point I ran round to their front door. Full on bed head, in the most scant pair of boxers I own, I barge into my hot neighbors Halloween after party. Fuck. Suddenly it occurs to me I never actually saw "the robber". So surrounding but 15 extremely out-of-my league 20yr old girls and I meekly say "I think there's someone in my house". Keep in mind that I have liked this girl for well over 5 years. Surely enough the half-blasted dudes start hyping each other up, patting me on the back saying shit like "don't worry bro we're gonna get the bastard". Fuuuuuuuuck. At this point I'm seriously hoping that there is actually a robber there so I can retain some (albeit extremely small) level of dignity. Anyway, hot neighbor gets me the closest available clothing, a neon pink dressing gown, which happened to be extremely high thigh, awesome. Any and all adrenaline is most assuredly turning into dread at this point. You know where this is going, no one was there obviously, I look like an ABSOLUTE ass in front of a lot of people I know and the girl I like. And to top it all off, as I'm walking up the steps after thoroughly checking the house with "the bros" I step on the neon pink waist cord, trip, and smack my face on the wall. Holy shit even writing this makes me want to curl up into a ball and die. Eventually worked out that the french doors had opened, causing my bedroom door to slam, and the dusty civic out front was someone from the neighbors trying to hotbox the car. Safe to say I will decidedly not be going out in public ever again.

TL;DR: Thought I was getting robbed, ran to my hot neighbors to get help in my underwear and ended up making myself look like the biggest idiot to ever exist, ever.

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...
