TIFU by telling a guy i’m going on a first date with tomorrow that my mom has a surprise for us

this happened roughly ten minutes ago.

so, i (20F) have been talking to this cute guy for a couple weeks on bumble. i’m really enjoying talking to him. he’s super sweet and funny, and has a lot of personality.

last week, he asked me what my ideal first date was and i said coffee because idk, i like coffee and talking!!! lol!! and we agreed to tuesday which is now tomorrow.

i’ve been really busy all week and lo and behold was just scrolling through fucking tiktok when it hit me— OUR DATE IS TOMORROW AND I DO NOT KNOW WHEN OR WHERE WE ARE MEETING. shit!

relevant background, my mom has also been asking me when i’m free on tuesday for an unspecified event. she will NOT give me details. she is very adamant that it is a surprise. i know it was “more expensive than the zoo, but less expensive than the concert we went to a couple weeks ago”. that’s IT. right?? super vague. i love my mom, she’s so excited about it lmao.

anyway, i hit ole pal with this message, which i have copied and pasted straight from the source: “also it just struck me that our date is tomorrow— when and where do you want to meet? i’m free until 3 PM :) my mom is apparently planning a surprise for us but she’s being very cryptic about what it is lol”

YEAH, SO I MEANT MY SISTER AND I. BUT GUESS HOW THAT SOUNDS?

he just went “oh boy okay” and i was like “sorry i hit you with that out of the blue!” MEANING BRINGING UP THE DATE IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR CONVO. BUT THIS COMMENT DID NOT HELP MY CASE

he was like “i’m just kinda socially anxious,” so i was like “oh i promise i’m really chill i just talk a lot! we can also go to this cool back room that’s not totally separate but it’s quieter with some cool windows :)” and he went “nah i’m good one on one i’m just nervous about meeting your mom”

it all clicked in that moment. FUCK. FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUC

i am mortified. he is relieved. thank god he was still chill about it even when he thought he was meeting my mother. ON THE FIRST DATE. oh my god. lord have mercy on my soul. i’m gonna lose my fucking mind.

and yes, my mom did nearly piss herself laughing when i told her right before writing this post.

TL;DR — going on first date tomorrow with cute guy. told him i was free until 3 PM because my mom was planning some surprise for “us”, referring to me and my little sister. didn’t realize how that sounded. he was nice about it. i am currently eating my own foot

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
