TIFU by accidentally texting my ex of 3 years

This fuck up just happened, and I feel like a complete moron.

I work 12 hour overnight shifts from 6pm-6am and it can get pretty boring in the wee morning hours when there’s nothing going on. It’s 3am, I’m scrolling through tiktok, and there’s a trend where people post screenshots of text conversations they’ve had with their ex’s asking themselves why they were with them in the first place. I’m bored, so I decide to (try) and do the same thing. I found a heated conversation I’d had with my ex in 2020. We dated for a little over a year on and off, it was not a healthy relationship, things ended pretty badly and he was the one who broke up with me twice. Anyway, I’m scrolling through the conversation with my ex, thinking about how lucky I am to have my current boyfriend and how grateful I am to be in a healthy relationship after some of the shit I’ve been through… when my phone decides this would be a GREAT time to “emphasize” one of the texts in the middle of the argument. Which of course sends him a notification! At 3am. Have I mentioned we haven’t spoken for 3 years???

Needless to say I panicked, blocked his number, deleted all of our messages, and double checked he’s still blocked on all other forms of social media. I know in the grand scheme of things this is relatively small but I am so mortified right now lmao.

Edit for more context: I did not save our texts purposely. I save every text message I’ve ever received ever, even spam and wrong numbers. I do not ever go through old messages, and when he and I broke up I deleted every photo of him/us, and removed him from all of my social media. He is also the reason I downloaded tiktok and he created my account for me years ago. The conversation in question was how he made plans with me to meet his family for the first time on Christmas, and then forgot about me and didn’t speak to me until the next day, and how I was hurt by this behavior; which he was angry at. If anything good came out of this, I was at least able to see my growth in relationships and never allow myself again to be treated or spoken to the way he did.

TL;DR I tried to do a tiktok trend by screenshotting messages from my shitty ex from 3 years ago, ended up accidentally sending him a text at 3am.

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...
