TIFU by being socially awkward in front of the girl i like

For context I 30(M) i grew up only child with a single mother (so family dynamics is something unknown to me) im getting to know this girl (26F) has a child and lives with her big family lets call her N . We aren’t dating yet because she needs time we both need time to get to know each other and to see if i would be a good male figure in her babys life.

Now for the story of how i f*cked up today So i got a message from N that she wanted to get her nails done and wanted to see if im availabe to take care of her child while she did that because for some reason the baby stays and is better behaved with me than whith her family or her for that matter. So i told her yes that i would pick him up latter and so i did, I had him with me all of the afternoon while i was walking back to Ns house i bumped into her moms girlfriend (most sexist gay person I’ve met) and she starts laughing at me and says from now on your name is not so and so your name is the baby sitter (she used a degrading word for baby sitter used in my country). I got mad but mostly hurt so i turned back and went to the park with the baby while i calmed down so after a while i went back to Ns house and as i reached i saw N and her entire family sitting in the front yard, as soon as her moms girlfriend saw me she started shouting at me the same word she called me a while back. Something i forgot to say im bipolar so certain things trigger me so i got angry and told her i dont like being called names but with a very rude tone then i handed N the baby and i left about a hour after i received a txt from N step mom saying thats how family jokes around and that in that house they show love like that.
TL;DR got pissed of and had a fit in front of the girl i like because i didn’t understand how family dynamics work and that they were joking around

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...
