TIFU by mixing up the dates my wife and I had tickets to Taylor Swift's Eras tour

This happened earlier tonight. Back story, my wife loves Taylor Swift. We actually had one of our first dates at a Taylor Swift concert. She was SO excited with the Eras tour was announced because she had missed Taylor's last tour, and hadn't seen her perform live since 2015.

​

We were fortunate enough to get into the Verified Fan presale because I've purchased many of Taylor's albums on Vinyl for my wife as gifts. As some of you may have heard the persale was a shitshow and we did not successfully get tickets (looking for tonight 7/29). We again were fortunate to get a 2nd chance at purchasing tickets due to TM trying to save face. This time around TM didn't allow you to choose specific tickets, just the price range you were comfortable with and they would choose the seats for you within a day or so. We successfully got tickets this time. She was so pumped!

​

We have been talking about it for weeks. She spent the previous day getting her outfit decided. We got a babysitter (my brother). I got someone to cover me at work. We drove an hour, got there an hour early, paid $60 for parking, walked 3/4 miles to get to the stadium, waited in lines, got through security, get the tickets out....they don't scan...try to sort out why...discover they're for yesterday....fuuuuuuuuuck!

Tried talking to several staff about our predicament (my fuck up) to no avail. Of course, they're completely sold out. Only option would have been to buy $1000/piece tickets off of the secondary market. Message TM, "sorry, your fuck up."

So now she won't talk to me (understandably), I'm in the doghouse. No idea how I'm ever getting out. Pray for me.

​

TL;DR': Thought I purchased Taylor Swift concert tickets for tonight but found out when trying to get into the venue they were purchased for yesterday's show.

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...
