TIFU by writing a shitpost months ago

So we will have to set the stage for a small tifu post. A few months ago there was an AskReddit thread about how your affair started. Being a cheeky bastard I decided to reply with shit post of having a small addiction to a video game and that was my affair since it took time away from my girlfriend. I said things like friends introduced us, it started off casually enough but became more serious sometimes seeing each other four or five nights a week, staying up late, waking up early just to spend more time with "her," etc. I did end the post calling out the game I was referencing and I thought I was one clever son of a bitch. Well the reply didn't gain any traction and that's fine, I had fun writing it and it made me laugh so I promptly forget about it.

Over the years I have been trying to get my girlfriend into Reddit but she never liked the interface or how confusing it can be and that's fine we both get a kick out of the stupid shit I find and share. These past couple of days I noticed that she was acting kind of cold and distant, but she never said anything to me, and I know I didn't do anything wrong so it must have been work related.

Well queue the fuck up. Turns out over the weekend she was trying to get familiar with Reddit again and wondered if it was like other social media platforms. She searched for my username (it's not difficult to figure out if you know me) and started going through my post history and stumbled upon the "affair" post. She didn't say anything to me but talked to friends and they said to confront him about it and get the truth.

After taking the dog out last night it all came out. She angrily showed me a screenshot of my post and told me to explain myself. I laughed and that did not help the situation at all. After explaining that it was just me making a shit post and if she replaced all the references of "her" with the game it would make more sense. It took a few minutes then she started laughing and crying when it dawned on her that it was all a joke. After things calmed down I also pointed out a few inconsistencies with the post such as I would go out 4 nights a week when in fact I'm the biggest home body only leaving to work or grocery shop. Everything worked out in the end, and it looks like I did do something wrong but completely unintentional.

TLDR: Write a shit post about an "affair" with a game, girlfriend found the post and thought I was cheating.

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...
