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 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 ...
