TIFU by being caught on a flight "watching gay porn"

A few years ago, I was in the USA and flicking through the channels on the TV in the hotel, I saw a drama with Adam Driver in it. Having recently seen him in Star Wars, I was curious to see him in something else. Turns out it was the HBO comedy-drama Girls). That particular episode had him furiously masturbating on the opposite end of a sofa to one of said girls (Jessa - Jemima Kirke). I was hooked.

For those of you who haven't seen it, it revolves around the lives of some young women in New York. It's a bit like Sex And The City but they're less attractive and not as wealthy. They made 6 series (60 episodes in all) and there's quite a bit of sex/nudity in it. They film it pretty raw so when a couple are fucking, they're both properly naked, not just wriggling around under some sheets. One of the fairly major characters is the room-mate of the main protagonist, a gay man called Elijah (Andrew Rannells).

At the time, I was doing a lot of flying around the US so downloaded the entire box set onto my iPad to while away the hours (with noise cancelling headphones). In one particular story arc, the aforementioned Elijah starts dating a TV news anchor Dill (Corey Stoll). As their relationship progresses, they naturally end up having sex and although it's only on screen for a few seconds, it's essentially two naked men vigorously humping. Bear in mind that this is in, I think, season 5 and probably amounts to under 10 seconds of the 3,600 seconds total, it was at this exact moment that the American Airlines stewardess came round to see if I wanted a drink. Before I could explain, she exclaimed "Oh my!" and hurried off.

TL;DR - flight attendant mistook a sex scene in a drama for actual gay porn

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...
