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 - 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...
