TIFU by not clearing my search history

I work at a bar. Recently, a new girl started. She’s pretty and we got on well. After her first shift, I did some fairly extensive stalking to find out if she was single or not. This involved finding her Facebook and then her instagram handle through a reel that had been cross posted to Facebook. Her insta was on private so I didn’t find anything out.

Anyway, fast forward to the latest and my final shift at the bar. I established through conversation that she is, indeed, single. I used Spotify Blend (great feature btw) as a reason to exchange contact details.

I said “how shall I send you the link?”. “Insta!” She replied.

I confidently opened insta on my phone and handed it over.

“Have you been stalking me?” She exclaimed. Her insta handle was the last search.

I said something like “ah fuck” and we both laughed about it, but it was super embarrassing and I think it probably ruined any chances I had. Even if it didn’t though, I was so off my game because of that. Later on as I was leaving, I said she should hit me up to go bouldering. She heard bowling, and said she wasn’t very good. I was already out the door so I couldn’t correct her.

So TLDR is I stalked my work mate that I barely knew, let her see that I’d stalked her, then accidentally asked her to do something that is not at all a reflection of what I’d actually want to do.

I’m probably gonna send a message tomorrow to try clear up the last bit and apologise for the stalking, but I’m not sure yet. I might also just leave it and chalk it up as experience.

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 ...
