TIFU by accepting cookies from the store next door.

I work at a store that’s in a food court with multiple stores close together, to the point where sometimes I stand next to employees from other stores sometimes while working. The stores don’t really interact with each other at all. I’ve only been working a few months so I’m not completely sure how things work, it’s also my first job!! :]

This morning wasn’t busy, and one of the boys from the next store calls me over. He asks me “do you want cookies?” and I go “sure, thanks so much!!”. I thought it was like extra food? (I don’t know what I was thinking the store literally just opened so he gave me fresh cookies…)

I also misunderstood and thought he was offering it to my store as a whole and not me, so I immediately go to my manager and other co-workers and go “they gave us cookies :D”.

Like two hours later I’m still thinking, “wow what a nice guy” until another worker from the same store calls me over. She asks me, “do you know ——?”

I say no and she tells me he’s the one who gave me cookies and that he has a crush on me (??!!!). She then asks me if I liked to cookies and I say yes, knowing damn well I didn’t even eat any.

Because the stores are so close together I think he heard me give the cookies to my coworkers. I feel so bad for accepting them AND THEN GIVING THEM TO OTHER PEOPLE IN FRONT OF HIM. I feel especially bad because he’s a year younger than me.

TL;DR - I got gifted cookies from a boy who likes me and then I gave them to my coworkers in front of him (without realising he meant to give them to me).

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...
