TIFU by letting some kids think Bambi died

So I was talking to my brother this morning and he was in a good mood. He told me he had been hunting and showed me a picture of a really big buck he had killed. Now before I continue I should probably let you know that my family’s love language is insulting each other. There have been instances where people hear our conversations and stand up as if they’re getting ready to break up a fight. So when he shows me the picture my first instinct is to downplay it. I say “you probably just saw that deer on the side of the road and shot it.” He calls me a hater and we laugh and continue our day. About 2 hours ago we went to our cousin’s house and when my brother walked in this is the conversation that happened.

Brother: “Hey (cousin) you gotta see this.”

Me: “oh great”

Cousin: “What is it?”

Me: “He’s just happy he killed Bambi.”

I noticed my cousin’s 2 young kids were in the room but I didn’t think much of it. They know what hunting is and I didn’t think they would hear that and think my brother literally killed Bambi. They started crying. My brother had no idea what to say. My cousin didn’t realize why they were crying and the thought of letting them think my brother killed Bambi was so funny I couldn’t say anything because I was holding in my laugh. Luckily my cousin’s wife was in the room and took charge in the situation. After 30 minutes my brother and I had finished doing what we were there to do and we went back in the house. Now I feel guilty because while they had calmed down they didn’t believe my cousin’s wife that Bambi wasn’t dead. I feel like I killed Bambi. So that’s how my day has been so far.

TLDR: I said a joke and now 2 little kids think Bambi is dead.

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...
