TIFU by messing with my nose piercing.

Warning, contains mentions of vomit and blood.

Well, this wasn't today that I fucked up, but at the start of this week. Cue me watching some movies with my younger sibling, enjoying some delicous pizza. After eating I decided to start fidgeting with my nose piercings, which I know you shouldn't do but for context, a month prior I switched out my jewelry from hoops to push pin nose studs, and did not know how they open. So I wanted to test it out.

While the movie is playing I am pulling in opposite directions trying to take the stud out, starting to think, "what if it can't come out." Three seconds after that thought I feel a click and pop, then hear the piercing hit the ground. I pick it up and start to look for the other piece, which just so happened to be the inside piece. It was late at this point and the other piece was nowhere to be found, so I decided to give up and check underneath the couch the next day.

I head to bed.

The next day I wake up, get ready for school, and look under the couch, still can't find the piercing, so at this point I just switch out the absence of my piercing for one of my old hoops.

Then I continue the day as normal. But for some reason I start to increasingly feel sick, almost like the feeling you get when you don't eat, but I can't handle the idea of eating any food either, which is weird because I never feel this way. My day continues on as normal.

The loss of the piercing happened on Monday, and it is now Tuesday.

I go to my friends house, go to the gym, and then head back home and do some homework and cleaning. Then go to bed.

The next day I did the same rodeo of getting ready for school, but this time when I sat down to eat breakfast, I really could barely stomach it, I felt as if I was gonna throw up even looking at and smelling the food. I then head to school, and go home afterwards.

My family decides to take me out to a sushi restaurant, and I absolutely love sushi. But I have this same absent hunger feeling, paired with a feeling of constant car sickness. The thought of eating makes everything 10x worse. But I push myself through it because I know my body needs nutrients. So I pick up a dumpling with my chopsticks, and bite it right in half. I feel even worse.

I take a piece of salmon sashimi and eat it. Again. Even worse. To the point where I had to go to the bathroom because I felt so sick. After 5 minutes of waiting this sickness through, I head back to the table. And eat a couple more pieces, the feeling comes back. At this point I really do feel like throwing up, so I quickly get up and briskly walk towards the washroom again. Gagging and coughing at the same time.

I open the stall and in quick succession my mouth forces itself open. Followed by an arch of vomit, that somehow landed in the toilet from the distance I was at. Almost like in the movies where a demon is excorsised from someone and their mouth opens wide followed by the endless black smoke. But my body was not close to done. I stood over the toilet, and the exact same amount came out 6 more times, gag, vomit, repeat. And it was a concerning amount, the most I have ever puked in my life. I swore I could've filled at least one 4 litre jug. There is also liquid pouring from my nose at this time.

I get up, flush the toilet, and head to the bathroom sink, grab some paper towel, and wipe my nose. Only to find super bloody snot coming out. I look in the mirror with a slight upward tilt, and see something metal in my nose, encased by the blood. I grab another piece of paper towel, and blow my nose. Only to find the piercing in it.

Today is now Thursday, and I feel so sick to my stomach that I had to miss school, I feel incredibly dizzy, and am extremely anxious that I got an infection in my nose. Which could mean something realllyyyyy bad.

TL;DR: Messed with new stud piercings, and the backside ended up flying up into my nose, I had no idea. Started feeling really sick throughout the week, threw up like crazy, and piercing came out of my nose along with bloody snot. Absolutely terrified I have an infection in my nose now.

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...
