TIFU by eating chocolate covered pretzels

TIFU by chugging 900mg of caffeine within 5 minutes

Recently I’ve just been insanely bored and tired of my day to day college life so I decided haphazardly to lock myself in my room and chug three 300mg energy drinks back to back within the span of about 4-5 minutes. I have no friends at my college and am severely behind in my coursework, so every day I feel both completely lonely and severely overwhelmed. Not trying to start a pity party but I’ve been feeling pretty bad about myself as of late due to both not having any friends and being accepting of my poor grades, so I see this as kind of a punishment for being such a disappointment to both myself and my family.

Anyways as for the actual fuckup, as I type this I can feel the effects starting to kick in. I’m definitely someone that has a high tolerance for caffeine, and it’s only been a little while since I finished the third energy drink, so I’m not sure how bad it will get, but as of right now I can tell that it’s not going too good! Very fidgety and starting to feel aching on the sides of my head. I also am slowly beginning to notice tension in my upper left arm. My heartbeat is a bit faster than normal, but I’m sure it will get much faster with some time. It’s almost as if I can feel the heat of my blood going through the back of my neck, and now it’s taking a lot of concentration to stop my right leg from moving up and down.

I had actually planned on having a 1200mg intake at once but my body just would not let me drink the last can, so I threw it away instead. I’m still not exactly sure why I did any of this, but with any luck I’ll just have some time to feel something other than disappointment, even if it is bodily discomfort!

Huzzah!

TL;DR: Depressed? college kid with zero friends and a shaky future intakes 900mg of caffeine via energy drink all at once, because of boredom and loneliness.

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...
