TIFUpdate: Letting my brother put a hifi (stereo) in my bedroom

My brother asked me to make an update post, unfortuntately i can't link the original post because deleting it was part of the deal but TL;DR i let my brother put a music system in my bedroom on a table i had for my RC Boat and i wasn't allowed to listen to my music on it and it meant he just sat in my bedroom all day listening to his music, things get heated when he buys a subwoofer for the system.

A lot has happened since then, i didn't expect the post to blow up, but one of my biggest fears actually came true, my brother saw it on christmas eve, and after reading the 200 or so comments told me that he was moving the stereo out and into his room in a week, a few hours later my brother commences he's making space for it in his bedroom and what do i see? he's not joking and indeed moving it until we made a deal, i wasn't expecting to get it back.

Fast forward to today, me and my brother finally negotiated a deal we are both happy with and is being reasonable now, this came after he sent me a video of him blasting out his music so loud on it that the speakers were actually vibrating, and i said i wanted it back in my room under the deal that there was space for my boat and i could play my music on it.

So a happy ending, the HiFi is back here now, i played auld lang syne by the royal scots dragoon guards at 80% volume, what a way to end christmas day, but i don't think my ears respected it (i normally don't listen to music that loud anyway and we had to get permission from my mother to do it)

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...
