TIFU by mentioning to my friend the price of the tickets for a concert we would attend (before actually buying them)

A couple weeks ago I asked my friend (we're both 20) if she wanted to attend a kpop group's concert with me June next year. We like the group a lot and it's gonna be their first time in our country.

Today I decided to see if the tickets were already being sold, and to my surprise some of the options were already sold out, so I decided I had to buy them now. From the very beginning my idea was paying for both tickets.

I decided to confirm with her if she still wanted to go. She said yes, and said that she would pay me back later on, which I refused.

I ended up mentioning the price of the tickets (cheapest option being around $130 USD, (EDIT: Around $130 each) over half a month of minimum wage here), and she thought the price was too high. Now she no longer wants to go, even if I pay for the tickets.

She was willing to go, but after knowing the price she changed her mind. I should have just bought the tickets beforehand and given to her, I can't do this now, I don't wanna pressure her into going.

I'm still going to the concert, but alone, which sucks. I wanted to have this experience with her. We're planning to do something cheaper together soon though.

TL;DR I was planning going to a concert with my friend. She knew I would pay for both our tickets, but she changed her mind after I told her how expensive the tickets are. I should've bought them before.

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...
