TIFU by getting semen in my eye and having to go to the emergency room.

As some of you know, I’ve been hanging with my coworker for a few weeks now. It’s been a lot of fun but disaster finally struck today.

I was fooling around with said coworker in the parking lot before work this morning and not to get into the details of it, but he was finishing orally and he popped out of my mouth as the act was ending. I think it was half my fault for not committing to accepting the result and half him leaning backwards from feeling pretty good.

That popping out resulted in me getting hit in the right eye, followed by some absolutely searing pain. I fell back, nearly hitting my head on the door to his car, going legs over head. Full on somersault almost. I should have entered the Olympics. Naked girl tumbles in car. Gold medal for participation.

Essentially it looked like I took a shotgun blast to the face at close range, but you know, in an overly dramatic fashion. It didn’t help that I was naked at the time so I think it was all about as opposite as sexy as you could get.

My coworker was a gentleman and helped me get cleaned up as best he could with a towel he had in his car, but we had no water or anything liquid so I got dressed and quickly ran into the building we were working in. Of course, the women’s bathroom on the first floor was still locked. Just my luck. It was also almost time for work to start. I almost ran to the elevators. My eye was still burning. I waited and waited. It wasn’t coming. Elevators, am I right?

Finally I ran to the stairs. I heard the elevator ding but it was too late. I committed and ran up the stairs. Of course, being half blind I tripped on the landing and completely ate shit. Full on crash and burn. Skinned my knees and everything. I got up and kept running, making it the second floor. I felt like my eye was getting worse and worse.

It was not supposed to hurt this bad, it was not my first time certainly.

One hallway later I was in the bathroom and quickly washing my eye out with water. It still burned. I looked at myself in the mirror and my eye was bloodshot red. It still hurt like hell. My vision was completely blurry and everything still felt a little sticky in the eye lashes.

It also was time for me to go to work.

I went into the office and immediately got asked what happened by a variety of coworkers. I just said it was an allergic reaction and I got something in my eye. I put sunglasses and continued to go about my business. But my eye just let hurting.

I tried to wash it out a few more times but the pain was still there. Finally, I looked in the mirror again. My eye was now swollen red. It looked like I had been punched.

I went to my supervisor and told her I think I needed to go to urgent care. She was highly suspicious until I lifted my sunglasses and I got a full on “oh my god, yes please go. Are you even able to see?”

My hesitation lead to a coworker giving me a ride asking a lot of questions about what I possibly could have gotten in my eye to cause such a reaction. I felt my cheeks matching my eyes in red coloring.

Finally made it to the urgent care…only for it to be closed. The next closest place was the emergency room and now my eye was unbearable. We went there.

After an hour and a half wait I finally made it in front of a doctor. I had to ask my coworker to step out of the room before telling him I got semen in my eye.

Thank god for professionals. He didn’t bat an eye. He said I most likely just was having an allergic reaction but I hadn’t properly cleaned my eye so the longer it was in there the longer it was going to hurt.

A much better rinse and some eye drops later the pain immediately lessened. I guess the moral of the story is…don’t get sperm in your eye? There are several other great options I would recommend prior to the eye.

Stay safe out there everyone!

TL;DR: I got semen in my eye and had to go to the ER

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...
