Tifu by bringing only my phone to my massage parlour

I just got home and… man this was a very unnecessarily chaotic experience.

I frequently get massages for my chronic pain so today was meant to be just another day, all was well during the massage but the problem arose when it was time to pay.

They don’t do card anymore, fuck I forgot about that. I tell them okay no worries I’ll run over to the atm across from here and get some.

Problem 2 arrises once I realise I didn’t bring my wallet and only my phone for touch pay so the atm was redundant.

I run back to the parlour and tell them I’m going to Kmart down the road to get cash out there, they’re very kind and I’m apologising aggressively.

Ran to said Kmart, got some chocolates for the staff to apologise and think I got this all under control. No cash out without a card. God. Damn it.

I buy the chocolate and run back again and apologise even more aggressively as I insist they take the chocolate.

But there was still hope! I called my housemate and asked if she could find my wallet and bring it over in exchange for me buying her lunch. Sounds good so far, however the tale is not over yet. My I’m adhd gremlin who’s a stupidly busy workaholic so my room is an ungodly mess of things so no wallet could be found.

I asked if I could take her card and I would transfer her, no can do, her boyfriend has it. But the boyfriend works not too far from here so I apologise aggressively to the staff as I explain what’s next. They’ve been super kind this whole time and did find my panic quite endearing so there’s that at least.

Once again I run but this time to my the workplace with the man who has the last of my hopes on his shoulders. AND ONCE AGAIN no card.. thank whatever god is out there because he did have just enough cash!!

With my payment in my hands at long lost I ran back to the massage parlour again, it’s past their closing time at this point and I feel so guilty as I sprint over there.

They see me run over, holding the money above my head in victory, and come over to take it and gave me a hug as a thanks and to stop apologising.

Oh yeah, did I also mention that I’m in aus it is 30 degrees Celsius today? Kill meeeee

Tldr: need to pay for my massage and end up running around all over the place until I could finally pay and get a pity hug

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...
