TIFU by thinking I could post on Reddit

I will be surprised if this actually posts. So, I have been aware of Reddit for years. I read things on it all the time and get good information and tips. Stuff about news, games, even random information that I just happen to need at the time that I end up at via a Google search. So I decide ok I am going to make an account. Of course I am not cool enough to think of a good username so I keep the random one given to me, maybe that is a part of the fu. I read posts on here daily since I have joined. I have for months. I decide ok, I think I finally have something good to post outside of a question or two about some computer stuff. I post it, and I am like awesome I did it. Look at me go, I hope someone thinks it is cool like I do and maybe this will be the start of me getting out of my shell as just a spectator of sorts. Check my messages. Apparently it got deleted. My account is too new? How new is too new. It didn’t tell me that. It also said I didn’t have enough Karma or whatever it is called. Well how would I get that if I can’t post. I have tried other subs and attempted to post. Same issues. Ok, so maybe it’s because of all the bot stuff. I get it. Tons of new accounts just posting what they want and skewing things. Maybe just give me one of those terribly complex Captchas where I have to click the check mark or something. That stops all the bots. Guaranteed. Though like I said my username probably makes me seem like a bot anyway. Maybe I just need to read a sub that explains how to Reddit. Maybe I am just not savvy on my old age of 34. Better luck next time. Hope this post doesn’t get deleted.

TL;DR: TIFU by thinking I could just post anywhere being new and seeming like a bot.

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...
