TIFU by telling a girl that I just met that my wife had to come home from college to do physical therapy for her torn vagina

My wife and I are well out of our college years and have two young children. We wanted a date night so hired a sitter for a couple of hours while we sipped margaritas at one of our local favorites.

We get home and are sitting in the living room, making small talk with the college-aged sitter that I have never met before tonight. My wife is telling her about how she suffered a shoulder injury as a cheerleader in college that required her to come back to our hometown multiple times per week for physical therapy.

My wife is the most intelligent person that I know (obviously much more so than me, judging by what just came out of my mouth) but she frequently cannot think of a certain word in conversation and looks to me to interject with said word at times. You may see where this is heading.

In the middle of her story, my wife forgets exactly WHAT she tore in her shoulder (her labrum), and pauses to look at me for guidance. It's at this point that I blurt out LABIA with complete confidence like I'm Ken Jennings buzzing in for Jeopardy before the host has even finished the question. (Who is an idiot, Alex?)

I'd like to be able to tell you that I realized my mistake immediately, but sadly it took 3-4 seconds of my wife staring at me in total shock before I put 2 and 2 together.

Realizing that I had just insinuated my wife had to come home from college to seek medical attention for her torn vagina, I apologized and exited the room with my hands over my face in shame.

The poor sitter just left and my face is still burning with embarassment. My wife laughed it off like the cool person that she is (I don't deserve my wife) but I can only hope that the sitter found it as humorous.

Going to pour myself a stiff drink now and try to forget the whole exchange. Enjoy laughing at my pain.

TL;DR: I told the college-aged, female babysitter that I just met that my wife had to do weeks of physical therapy for a torn labia. She tore her labrum.

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...
