TIFU by making sure I didn’t lock my roommate out.

Happened a couple hours ago but it’s going to eat me alive for days. For context: I(M) have one roommate(M). We have a top n bottom lock on the inside, can only unlock/lock bottom from outside.

Here I am enjoying the most ordinary day off in existence. Made some breakfast, a lil’ workout, called my mom, watched a movie, a tad bit of work, and LAUNDRY. When I return from the work out I lock the bottom lock. I KNOW i didn’t touch the top one, that’s usually at night. I’m putting things in the wash and still wearing my workout clothes so I strip n throw em in. Nude but i’m about to take a shower so whatever. Then my brain does some speed thinking. I saw the time and think “oh roommate will be here soon let me make sure I didn’t lock the top” I know I didn’t lock the top, it was one of those moments when you lock your car door and do it again just in case. So I go over, still nude, doors not locked as I thought, i start walking away when I here a click, instantly look behind me and my roommate is opening the door. I BOLTED TO MY ROOM too late I fear. We locked eyes as I was running. I’m 99.9% sure he saw me in my primitive form. That .1% is my hope that he didn’t…he definitely did.

We made small talk after that and the air felt a but awkward. Waiting for the right time to slip a joke in to break the tension.

I don’t even know if he has reddit but if you see this man…I’m sorry I didn’t know you’d get here that quick

TL;DR: Doing laundry I took my workout clothes off to wash. Nudely went to make sure I didn’t lock my roommate out and he walked in on me.

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...
