TIFU by donating my blood

I have been donating blood couple of times. But today im so embarrassed. For the people who regularly donates blood or have been donating, you may know how the process are.

The process goes very well, with medical check, blood pressure and so on. It's just like a normal day for me, nothing wrong and all goes well.

Usually, after the nurse draw your blood, the nurse will give advice to not use your hand that you got your blood drawn on, for heavy task or it may complicates the healing of the wound or some sort. And i nodded and said yes as to acknowledge her advice.

And then, after all is done, i go out to my car, (fyi my car door handle is a bit hard to open, and i got my father to drive). With my smooth a*s brain, i open the car door with the hand that got blood drawn from.

At first, there nothing wrong with it, i got inside the car, get seatbelt on. Then, my father drive out the parking lot, and i start chit chat with my father. Then i feel something wet on my trousers. And i saw it completely wet with my blood, with my arm dripping blood on to it.

Then, i screamed to my father, "look my arm". My father told to put pressure on it, while, he trying to go back to the blood donation center. Not long after that, we arrive again at the center.

With blood dripping arm and blood stained trousers and part of my shirt, I look like someone running off from a murder. I go to the counter and ask for help, many people were there saw me. I dont know what they thought about me, I'm so embarrassed.

Luckilly, the nurse took quick action, and told to go to one of the rooms to manage my situation. The treatment went well, and i got the new band-aid on and cleaned, not my trousers and shirt thou.

TL;DR I fuckup by not follow nurse advice after donating blood, and got shower of blood all over my body.

p/s i dont know if this good storytelling or not, i'm so sorry if there misspelled mispronunciation or grammar error as im still learning english.

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...
