TIFU. By asking out a girl, who was just being friendly.

Ahaaaaaaaaa, this is embarrassing but I just want to get it off my chest. I'm a 20 y/o BTW.

I get to work as a sports photographer for an ongoing football event.

Matchday 1 : There's this girl, a volunteer making sure everything is in place. She's standing next to where I was photographing. After a little "hi-hello", we talk at the half time and I tell her about the football organization I work with. A nice little conversation and then the night ends.

So, this event is behind closed doors and we're supposed to get covid tested before every matchday.

A day before matchday 2 : We meet, another "hi-hello" and a nice little conversation. This time we exchange Instagram IDs and vibe over how we both have broken phones.

Matchday 2 : We meet again at the same place, but I've to shoot some videos. So, I have a rushed conversation with her. Me & my team had to leave early cause the match got cancelled.

At this point it's become an inside joke in my team that "this is my stadium girlfriend"

Later we exchange phone numbers over Instagram.

We have 2 nice little conversations over text, and my brain is like : Hmn, interesting girl. It'd be nice to get to know her and maybe ask her out.

Me to myself : okay, you have 4 more matchdays to go. Take it slow, she's probably just being friendly. Don't. Rush. In. Based on the inside jokes. Maybe you can try to flirt a little, either way only ask her out on the last match day!

Matchday 3 : Cancelled.

Me happily texting her for another nice little conversation.

Me : I should ask her for a hang out.

My brain : You'd be rushing in! BAD IDEA.

Me : Ahaaa, I'll just casually slide it through

Me over text : I think, you is an interesting person... and it'd be nice to get to know you! Wanna hang out some day?

Instant Regret. And before I could unsend this message, she's already seen it.

Her : Sorry if you got any wrong ideas

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Now, I have 3 more matchdays to go and I guess it'll be awkward. I am not asking anyone out for all of 2022.

Should've taken it slow and only asked her out on the last day, wouldn't have had to worry about the awkward moments.

FML, not I'm out here with, "wise men say, only fools rush in" playing on back of my head.

I hope I mange to suppress the awkward and play it cool, for the rest of the matchdays.

TL;DR : Met a girl at a 6 matchday football event. Talked to her like twice, texted her like twice, thought she was interesting. Told my self I'd only ask her out on the last matchday. Ended up asking her out after the 3rd Matchday (over text). Now I have 3 more matchday's to go and it may end up awkward.

I WANT AN UNDO BUTTON!

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...
