TIFU by mentioning I was Jewish online 

So I (14f) don’t usually use social media platform like TikTok, instagram, and etc. A friend of mine recently told me to get discord though, and added me to a large server with dozens of random people whom I didn’t know. Most said they were my age or a bit older, and many made immature jokes and stuff but that’s to be expected of kids my age on the internet ya know? But everyone seemed nice enough. So anyway, I thought everything was going fine until somehow the topic changed to religion. Many of the people in the server started sharing their, well, very strong opinion on religion. At some point they noticed I wasn’t interacting much and they asked me what I thought. I told them I wasn’t super comfortable discussing my opinion, but the real reason was that I knew that they wouldn’t agree with me based on what had already been shared. They then started bashing on Islam and that made me a bit upset. I told them that it wasn’t fair to treat people like horrible people or terrorists just because of there religion. I also mentioned that as a Jewish person myself who has to deal with harmful stereotypes all the time it made me very upset and uncomfortable. The whole server blew up with people who I thought liked me suddenly calling me a colonizer and a murderer and bring up the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. After sending me death threats and telling me to KMS they banned me from the server. So yeah. I deleted the app but my friend is now mad at me and saying that she refuses to speak to me for making her look like an idiot in front of her online friends. Looking back on it I should have just ignored the conversation and not said anything but whelp, too late now.

TL:DR I mentioned I was Jewish on discord and now friend won’t talk to me and I keep getting death threats

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...
