TIFU by not attending my father and best friend’s wedding

Yeah. Weird. But they’ve been dating for six years now and started to when she was twenty one and he was thirty nine. He had us (my twin brother and I) when he was only a teenager, but his young age when we were born still doesn’t make the fact they’re in a relationship any less weird at times, I mean she was my literal best friend growing up, we did everything together, she swears that nothing happened between them before she was legal and that he was never a creep who made her uncomfortable or attempted to groom her, but to be honest, that doesn’t make anything about the story sound any better, it’s still an odd situation, given the fact he watched her grow up just like he did me.

I’ve been as understanding and accepting of them as I can, it’s truly wonderful to see them both happy and in love, I also think it’s enough that my brother and her family have been giving them a hard time with their disapproval, I believe that 45 and 27 isn’t all too bad to get married, they’re both grown adults so whatever. Anyways, I’m the maid of honor and I’ve been practically planning everything along her side. But when the day came along, I saw my mother and brother, both of them were extremely angry and bitter, my mother was in tears. They told me that I shouldn’t go and my mother made a decision out of it; whether I wanted to support her or them. She’s suffering from heart problems and was sick as it is, I didn’t wanna leave her alone. Her and my father were never together—as in had a legitimate relationship, but she has always loved him and claimed it’s hard for her to see him go through marrying someone our age now.

My best friend was heartbroken, crying when she called me and my father was very much displeased, she said she feels betrayed and couldn’t believe that I didn’t show up for them. The only thing that made me feel slightly better is that she has four sisters and a lot of friends as bridesmaids and guests, so it’s not like I’m one of a few who left her hanging, but I still understand her position, I would be pissed if she skipped my wedding without a reasonable excuse provided, especially if she was the maid of honor, regardless of how many others there are to substitute. In all honesty, I think I shouldn’t have blindsided her by saying I’ll come and have her fully guarantee my presence and support, only to end up not attending, but it was a last minute decision itself and I gave her a call and explained what went down with my mother, still, she’s angry and refuses to speak to me

TL:DR I didn’t go to my father and best friend’s wedding cause my mother was sick and didn’t want me to and know they’re both quite angry

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...
