TIFU by surprising my coworker with a low cut top

This happened earlier this morning. I work in an office environment and one of my best work buddies is a guy. He's cool, treats me as an equal and most importantly doesn't hit on me. He's almost ten years older than me, married and has a kid. We always share office gossip, go to lunch together and the sort. I've met his wife on more than one occasion and even been to his house for BBQs and other events. His wife is great too and occasionally go out with her. Everything is strictly platonic.

Today, after work I'm going out on a date so I'm wearing slightly sexier clothes than I normally wear, including a low cut, form fitting top. I went over to his cube to say hi as I normally do and I lean over the cube wall like I always do completely forgetting what I'm wearing (I'm also a little bigger than average). They are these half height walls, just a little taller than the desk. He was busy working on something facing the other way at this computer but when he turned, he caught an eyeful. Nothing fell out or anything, but I did catch him off guard that he was startled and immediately looked at my face and stood up. I realized almost immediately what happened and stood up straight and said I'll talk to him later and walked quickly away. I haven't seen him since and he hasn't said anything as well. Now I made things awkward between us and I don't know what to do.

TL;DR - Gave my best friend at work an eyeful and now we are both avoiding each other

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...
