TIFU by eating too many prunes and having the worst stomach cramps of my life before a college midterm exam

Well, technically didn't happen today, but it wasn't super long ago. Anyway, I went to the store to pick up an Amazon package and decided to do some shopping and bought some prunes in a can since they looked good. It was my first time having any. I also bought some spicy peanuts to accompany them. Anyway, I tried the prunes out later that night while studying for a major college exam that I would have the next morning. And goddamn those prunes were good.

Eating a few of them lead to me devouring almost an entire can. I then downed those spicy peanuts (really bad idea) and swallowed it with some wine, I know, weird combination. I then resumed studying the rest of the night.

I later woke up like at 2 in the morning and was in excruciating pain. I thought my stomach was going to explode and split in two. I could see it MOVING. I got off the bed, moaning and hunched over and somehow managed to get to the kitchen where I started tossing and yeeting stuff out of the pantry until I found some tea and cooked it, all the while I was struggling to stand. I was drenched in sweat. It felt like gravity was crushing me. I was also downing some stomachache medicine and drank the tea. I only managed to sleep 4 hours that night.

The next morning I woke up without pain, thank god. However, I was super tired and was worried about doing horrible on the exam. So, I drive to school only for the professor to cancel the exam. Good ending. Anyway, lesson learned. Prunes aren't for young people like me.

TL;DR Ate too many prunes without knowing they are a VERY good fiber source and ended up messing my body up the night before a major exam. Exam ended up being cancelled last minute.

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...
