TIFU by going to a school dance

This happened five years ago now. I went to an all girls high school, and I wanted to go to football games and dances so I could meet boys. However, my best friend never wanted to go to any of these events, so I never went either. Halfway through our senior year of high school, the winter formal dance was coming up. I really wanted to go to the dance, because I had never gone before. However, my best friend wasn’t going to go. I had no one close enough to go with, except for some girls that my best friend didn’t like because she got into an argument with one of them about a year prior.

I felt really uncomfortable telling her about this, but I informed her of my plan to go to the dance. I reassured her that she would be my first choice to go to the dance; but I don’t have anyone else that I could possibly go with. My best friend seemed okay with it so she told me to have fun and take lots of pictures. So I went to the dance and that was fun.

But next week at school, she was acting weird. She stop sitting with me at lunch. She avoided me. And most of our classes, we sat together, but she deliberately sat on the other end of the room. There will be times where she would leave the room or the general area if she saw I was there. This went on for about a month. She kind of gave a half assed apology after, but our friendship never truly recovered.

Graduated high school I didn’t want to talk to that girl anymore. But she kept texting me. I thought she would’ve backed off by now, but she hasn’t. And now that she’s come back from college she always wants to hang out. Like literally every weekend if not every other weekend. And the thing is she always wants to go to my house and she’ll overstay her welcome and she’ll stay until like 10 or 11 at night sometimes.

Tl;dr: my introverted friend, didn’t want to go to the school dance, and I didn’t have anyone to go with except some girls she really didn’t like. So my best friend spread rumors about me and completely destroyed my reputation.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
