TIFU by eating a "spice pellet" in front of my now fiancée.

As is tradition round here this happened many moons ago when my now fiancée and I first started dating. Back then one of my theories on dating was the idea that an open palate and a willingness to try new and exotic foods correlated to being an open minded individual; something I was looking for in a partner. Everything from spicy Thai and Indian to sushi and Vietnamese coagulated animal jello blocks were on the table so to speak.

This particular FU happend as many do; on a Sunday morning after drinking way too much the night before. We got up and decided that coffee alone would not be enough to get us through this haze of poor life choices. Thankfully one of the upsides of living in a Hispanic neighborhood is there is a taco shop typically within stumbling distance in any direction. Pick a cardinal direction and walk on.

I knew of one close by that focused on goat dishes, I love goat, and we headed that way. She was not excited to try goat seeing as this was right in the time of the screaming and fainting goat videos all over place. "Too cute to eat as a main dish but ill take a bite of yours" she said. We get there and it is a popular spot. It is busy. She gets a pastor and barbacoa taco plate and I got something I saw someone else eating. It looked like menudo but less soupy more condensed and yes it was goat. "I'll have one of whatever that is please." I am used to people asking are you sure about that or "you know that comes with a hoof in it, u still want it that way?" I should have not waived it off this time. The dish turned out to to be goat chitlins, boiled then fried+- goat intestines in a menudo like broth. None of that is a problem in fact it wasn't delicious but it was pretty good.

My GF still hadn't tried it and I'm explaining what it tastes like but there's this unique flavor I couldn't put my finger on. Very earthy, and here gentle reader comes the fuckup. On my plate there's something about the size of a marble and it looks leafy, oh that must be the seasoning used let's bite into that.

Morgan Freeman voice

"it was not a seasoning pellet."

I chewed on this little leafy marble and instantly there was this acrid taste that shut down all taste in my mouth after that. I spit it out and no matter how much water I drank it lingered. What the hell was that? A bay leaf on steroids? Nope. Thankfully our next table over neighbor was nice enough to enlighten us. "Is no good. They did not clean the meat. Do not eat that." He was very polite but finally we understood he was trying to tell me I just chewed on a goat turd. Well fuck. "Waitress, more water and the check please." That is how my open mindedness backfired and why my GF refused to kiss me and my shit eating grin for a day. We are still together but every once in a while she gives me shit about eating a goats ass but not hers.

TLDR: took a girl out to eat exotic foods and ended up eating a goat turd. 2/10 with rice.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
