TIFU: By Getting Too Excited

Hello all! I’m on mobile, so excuse the formatting.

I (20 F) am a huge Legend of Zelda fan, so when the new game was announced I was ecstatic. When May 11th finally came I rushed from work early, a coffee shop, with drinks in hand for my friends and I to wait until midnight release. We went over to our lovely GameStop early, and in one swig I chugged my iced coffee on an empty stomach.

The excitement was really, truly starting to build within me as my friends and I waited for the games release. I just needed them for emotional support because I knew I would start crying in a moments notice. However, I realized that coffee wasn’t sitting right. I just blamed it on the excitement and the amount of sugar I had consumed. When we were allowed inside, I realized the led lights within the store seemed a bit too bright. I was starting to feel cold and clammy as well. I, again, chalked it up to my excitement. My heart was pounding and I was absolutely buzzing to get my hands on this game and go ham in my dark basement.

That’s when my body gave me the signal. The “oh no” signal, when all the blood rushes from my head to my stomach and I start salivating. I looked at my friend in horror, as GameStop doesn’t have a bathroom, and shoved my purse in her hands. I took my car keys and ran out the door, the nearest bathroom a gas station down the road. It was too late, however, as I went to get into my car disaster struck. I gagged.

I could feel the excitement and the coffee coming up and so I did the only thing I could do. I hid behind my car, kneeled down and puked. I took a moment to take a breath and vomited again, looking up to see headlights directly in my eyes. I awkwardly waved as this person proceeds to park right next to my car, and my spit up. I slowly stood, realizing I had gotten vomit on my knee, and waddled into my car. I sat there and contemplated whether or not to go back inside after I had just literally puked my guts out from being so excited. But! With my body feeling much better after the release of emotions, I hopped in and realized my friend who had parked beside me also was inside. And he did NOT want to be near me.

The employees heard what happened and thought it was hilarious. My friends took a picture of me next to the vomit with my game in hand.

I start my first shift at that GameStop today, lol.

TLDR: Got so excited for the TOTK release I puked in the parking lot. Twice.

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 ...
