TIFU by making a woman think I was a stalker

This happened a few years back. After my divorce was finalized, I met a woman on one of the Online Dating Sites. Things were going cool even though she was hesitant to date me right after a divorce. She came around after realizing I filed for the divorce, I filed about 8 months prior, it was about three months after my divorce was finalized and she was the first person I dated.

Fuck up number 1:

Her: I took sick leave today.
Me: Oh, you work for the government?

Her: HOW DO YOU KNOW I WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT!!!

Me: You said "sick leave." Only government employees say sick leave, people with regular jobs say PTO (paid time off).

Her: Oh ok.

During this conversation she happened to mention she was a disabled veteran (important later). We made plans for an in person thing at some point after this.

Fuck up number 2:

We meet at Starbucks, have a good time. We planned to talk for about 30 -45 minutes but were there about two hours. Make future plans to meet up. Head out to the parking and walk past a vehicle in the handicapped parking spot with disabled veteran plates.

Me: Is this your car?

Her: HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS IS MY CAR!?!

Me: Actually I didn't. I saw the disabled veteran license plate and wondered if it was yours.

Her: Oh ok.

Me: Can I open your door for you.

Her: Naw, I got it.

Long story short, she stood me up after that. She did give me a call and say now was not a good time for us to date due to my recent divorce, we can be friends, we can do things we previously talked about and I said cool, I can use a friend post divorce. Then she never called me again, lol. My observant answers were a bit too coincidental for her. Looking back, she obviously thought I looked up her info (I did not do this, i did not have her last name and only had what was probably a Google voice number. I do not look people up beyond like a Facebook search after getting to know you.) and got spooked.

TL;DR: Made a woman think I was a stalker by being too observant, then she ended it. Sucks for me, good for her on being cautious.

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...
