TIFU by laughing at my husband for getting hit by a car

Laughed at my husband for getting hit by a car

This fuck up actually happened a few weeks ago.

Long story short, when my husband was a kid, approx. 8? or so years old, he was hit by a car while riding his bike. He had to be airlifted to a hospital. All is good and he is a healthy 31 year old.

Well, around Thanksgiving his immediate family had over extended family for a few days. One of those days we had spent the day walking around and bar hopping. He invited his cousin who was in town with his gf. We were drinking at a place I used to GM at, so sometimes they will give us free shots or pour heavy. I got a little toasty and my husband invited his dad to join us. We were all laughing and sharing stories, when his dad brought up how he’s proud of my husband which triggered him to speak about the time my husband almost passed away as a child after being hit by this car.

Now I should mention, my husband and I will joke about this situation sometimes. Like if we are walking about I’ll make a comment to look both ways so he isn’t hit again, or we will tell our son when he isn’t paying attention about what happened, or if my husband forgets something or does something silly I’ll ask if it was because of his accident. We both think it’s funny and can tease each other about stuff.

Back to the story. So my FIL is talking about the accident and starts tearing up and speaking about the trauma of almost losing his son.

I start fucking laughing so hard. Not at my FIL but at my husband because this is our joke and toasted me thought about all the times we had joked about this.

So his family and SOs are all looking at my like I’m nuts. This makes it worse. I can’t stop laughing to explain myself. My husband had to give a brief explanation and then excuse ourselves and we leave as I’m still giggling and wiping tears.

Now it’s Christmas and I’m deadass embarrassed to go rejoin all these people.

Happy holidays, and look both ways.

TL;DR: my husband almost died as a child by getting hit by a car. My FIL brought up this accident and was crying. I proceeded to laugh uncontrollably, now Christmas is gonna be awkward.

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...
