TIFU and left my baby monitor on

TIFU by forgetting the baby monitor was on. Maybe. I dunno. I have a camera baby monitor set up in my bedroom for when my kid naps during the day (we cosleep). Currently, my fiance is away for work. I've been single parenting and physically/sexually frustrated while they're away, so when my mother came to visit, I decided to take advantage of this and take care of my shit (and pretend to nap). I left the kids with her in the living room downstairs, had a bath, turned on some music, locked the bedroom door and went to town on myself. This was fairly quiet, cause I'm not an animal. That being said, after some time and the potential noisier parts or embarrassing mannerisms.... I realized that I had left the baby monitor on. Or at least I don't remember turning it off.

This monitor turns on automatically when it is plugged in, so you physically have to shut it down. I totally panicked and ripped the camera out of the wall. When I went downstairs, the monitor was shut down but I don't remember actually turning it off. The screen was facing outwards, so it would have been a full view to everyone watching tv. This is a camera that is highly sensitive to any sounds and has great night vision. I can only assume, that my mom realized what was happening and turned it off to save me the embarrassing conversation. Or perhaps she noticed it was on and was like, "oh hey there's music playing, that's annoying I'm watching tv".

Either way, I don't want to ask, but I've been so embarrassed by the potential of the situation that it's resulted in nightmares about being caught masturbating at Christmas dinner or whatever. (No grandma, it's just a neck massager! See!)

Best case: Noone noticed and it just wasn't on. Worst case: I unintentionally masturbated in front of my entire family, and now everyone is pretending it didn't happen.

TL:DR Forgot about baby monitor and may have scarred my entire family with awful ahegao faces

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...
