TIFU by putting my face in my Grindr profile

Well this is what I get for experimenting sexually with my partner. A few months ago, my (21M) girlfriend (19F) admitted to being turned on at the thought of watching me with other people. Since March, we’ve only fooled around with one other person, who is her roommate. Now, being bi-curious, I proposed to my girlfriend that I do things with a guy in front of her and she was all for it. As a result, one fateful evening, I downloaded the best app for such an occasion; Grindr. Without thinking, I put a picture of my face on my profile without thinking much of it. As you all ought to be expecting at this point, this was my fuck-up. One coworker of mine, “James”, is openly gay. (Should also be noted that my girlfriend and I work together) Now, prior to this incident, I was under the assumption that James had a boyfriend. It wasn’t until I pulled up to work for the day that I saw his face in one of the profiles. Immediately my stomach sank and I blocked him, hoping, PRAYING that he didn’t see me on that app. All goes well until another coworker of ours, “Maddison”, approached me in private and says “Hey so… James says that he saw you on Grindr?” Uh oh. So, within a few minutes, not only did James recognize me on the app, but he also told some of our coworkers? My girlfriend, of course, finds the situation hilarious and plans to play it out as if she didn’t know what was going on. I, on the other hand, am having a bit of a heart attack as some of my friends think I’m trying to have an illicit gay affair behind my girlfriend’s back. I guess only time will tell how this whole mess turns out. I think I’m gonna avoid experimenting with guys for the foreseeable future, though. TL:DR; I used my face in my Grindr profile and my coworker thinks I’m cheating on my girlfriend.

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 ...
