TIFU by ruining my boyfriend's and I's one year anniversary.

I, 24f and my boyfriend, 33m were planning on going out for our one year anniversary this Saturday. We had this whole day planned on going to the movies, going out to eat, and then going to this "Paranormal Cirque" thing later in the evening. We just had our first son together, and he is now a month old. My mom agreed to babysit him during the early part of the day (movie and lunch) and my dad agreed to babysit him during the evening (the paranormal cirque). All seemed good, we got the tickets and we were both excited. Today I realized having my dad babysit would be a terible idea due to the fact that my son has collic, like really bad in the evening and night time. Tonight he was so bad, nothing would calm him down, and he was crying to the point he was gagging himself. It got me so frustrated to the point I too started to cry and realized I could not have my dad babysit and how he would probably be miserable and how I put a burden on him by having to take care of a non-stop crying baby. My boyfriend eventually told me that we just wont go to the paranormal cirque, and that he will just refund the tickets. Well the tickets arent refundable and we paid $145.00 for them. I now feel like I ruined our anniversary by worrying too much about how my dad will feel with our baby, and I also now feel bad for my boyfriend because we wont have the whole fun day we had originally planned.

TL;DR: TIFU by having to cancel non refundable anniversary plans due to my constant worrying of my baby being too collicy for my dad.

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...
