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 - 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...
