TIFU by belly flopping into a pool

I (m 25) was out with some friends at a bar, we were having a good time and one of my friends started talking to a group of hot girls next to us. They came over and eventually we all hung out together and were enjoying the night.

One of my friends asked if the girls played any sports and one of the girls said that two of them were into diving.

When i heard this i laughed a bit and made a comment along the lines of "comon, diving isnt a real sport". This lead to a heated argument between us where the girls were trying to convince me it was and me saying that its not and that "anyone can learn to dive".

Eventually we moved on and thought nothing of it. The next day, i was at out local pool there to get some laps in (just picked up swimming) and i see one of the girls from the bar there!

I tried to look away but she sees me and comes over. She then says i should join her at the diving area and before i could even say no she grabbed my hand and started calling over her friends - there were about 7 other girls and she mentioned to them that i was the guy who said he could dive!

The other girls started to tell say that i should show them my skills - and at this point i thought to myself il do one decent dive and then head back.

So i get up on the lowest board, and try to remember how people do it on TV and jumped in.

I felt like i had it, but when i hit the water i made the biggest belly flop i have ever done in my life. It hurt so much...my whole torso was read

When i got out of the water i could see the girls laughing, and the girl form the bar asked if i was ok...I told her i was fine and she said "well it was nice seeing you again!" and she went back to her friends

Im not the most in-shape guy and the part that hurt the most was the fat around my chest. Is this normal? I couldn't continue anything so i just got changed and went home

TL;DR - Tallked a big game about diving and ended up doing a belly flop infront of 8 girls who can dive

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...
