TIFU playing Mortal Kombat with a kid who didn't like losing

My gf and I were at the mall yesterday. We split up when she had to be at the hair salon. I decided to go to the gaming lounge inside the mall and kill time playing games. I paid for an hour of gaming. A random kid approached me less than 20 minutes later. I was playing Spiderman at the time. The kid watched and laughed every time I died or walked like a normal pedestrian instead of swinging through the city with my webs. I paused Spiderman and asked the kid if he wanted to play.

The kid said he wanted to play Mortal Kombat. Multiplayer. I accepted the challenge. Not gonna lie, the kid was good, clearly an experienced gamer, but his downfall was underestimating me when he realized I selected a female character to fight the big bad brute he selected. The kid was unable to defeat me and it seemed to frustrate him. Towards the end of my hour, I said "good game bro" and got up to meet my gf. I didn't see the kid again until my gf and I were going up on the escalator.

The kid and his mom happened to be on the escalator that was going down. I noticed him saying something to his mom before pointing at me as we were about to cross paths. I waved at the kid as we passed each other on the escalator. At that moment the mom took a photo of me on her phone and said "people like you should not be around children!" Everyone on the escalator stared at me, including me gf. We were planning to watch a movie, but the two of us were no longer comfortable spending more time at the mall.

I have no idea what that kid told his mom about me, but it must have been pretty dark to make her freak out like that. Lesson learned... lose next time.

TL:DR

Won a game of Mortal Kombat against a random kid at the mall. Kid got upset and made his mom yell at me in public.

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...
