TIFU by reminiscing through old messages

This was a couple years ago, but I still get anxiety thinking about it.

A while back, I was extremely bored laying in bed, and scrolling Facebook. For some reason, I began to wonder how far my messages went back, because my account is from 2008-ish.

Anyway, I started reading through some of the conversations as I was going along, and found myself reading through a convo from a situationship I had that was just weird and ended awkwardly. I had had enough of some of my embarrassing messages and was trying to back out of the conversation, and wouldn't you know it, I gave her the biggest God damn "thumbs up" you've ever seen!!

I was immediately paralyzed, thinking "Fuck! I wonder if she gets a notification for that? Hell with it, I'll just delete it. But what if she gets the notification that I sent the thumbs up and thinks it's a fluke, because what sane person would be reading through our weird situationship's conversation from like 6 years ago at 1:30 in the morning, only to find that I've deleted it? Then it would be obvious that I'm really, deep creeping through our old messages when I was literally doing only the normal amount of creeping!?"

I finally just said fuck it and deleted the thumbs up. But we still live in the same small town, still run into each other, and intentionally try to look preoccupied with something else.

So fucking awkward.

TL;DR Accidentally sent a "thumbs up" on messenger to an old flame while reading through conversation from years ago. Had a mental break in the ensuing 10 seconds, followed by a lifetime of awkwardness.

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...
