TIFU By thinking my son ran hit a night.

The realization of this tifu happened yesterday but has actually been occurring for the past 3 weeks of my 6 week old sons life.

He is our first child so we are still getting the hang of raising a small human. We are learning things though. One thing I noticed was he sweats a lot when he sleeps at night. So I being a problem solving new dad immediately thought we’ll let’s turn down the heat a little bit and put him into lighter outfits. None of my ideas really seemed to work.

So yesterday morning I was once again putting an outfit on a damp baby thinking something like “wow this little guy runs hot.” After that it was time for a diaper change. I remember thinking “It’s amazing how much a baby can sweat and have such a a light diaper in the morning.”

So, I’ve always put diapers on but I never really learned how to do it. After some interneting I realized that I’ve been putting diapers on wrong since we bumped up a size. The front was riding a little low.

Then it all came together dear reader. I realized that no, my son does not sweat a lot at night, he is just covered in his own pee because the angle I’ve had the diaper at is wrong and it leaked.

The reason I’m posting today is because I tested the hypothesis last night and awoke to a dry baby and heavy diaper this morning.

TL;DR Have been putting diapers on my son incorrectly since we upped the size and thought he was covered in sweat while sleeping when it was really just his own bodily fluids.

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...
