TIFU - I (20)M) accidentally pushed girlfriend (18F) over in supermarket

We was shopping and just playing about together, we kept tripping eachother over and pushing eachother jokingly. But at one point I fully pushed her over, I’m not sure if she slipped or I just pushed her too hard. I can only imagine how embarrassing it was for her, everyone kept asking if she was okay, probably thinking she was with an abusive boyfriend. She was in a abusive relationship in the past and I can’t help but feel a lot like him, embarrassing her like that in public is the worst thing I’ve ever done. I’ve said sorry a lot since we got back but can imagine that doesn’t really help. She’s been okay with me but has mentioned that her hip hurts and I just feel awful. I haven’t even looked her in the eyes since we got back, we were supposed to go out for food but ended up staying in, I just can’t help but feel like this has changed her view on me.

TL;DR Pushed girlfriend over in busy supermarket, feel like her abusive ex

UPDATE: After some flowers and some food, we spoke and she was completely fine about it. Said she was obviously embarrassed about it and that she got her feet messed up (I’m sure she’s only saying this to make me feel better lol she’s too sweet for me) and things are all good. For the future I just need to be aware of the size difference and be gentle. Thanks for everyone’s help 🙏, much appreciated

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...
