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 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 ...
