TIFU clogging my in-laws toilet

TIFU, more specifcally this morning.

This week I'm meeting my gf's family and staying with her mom and uncle in their country. It is also the first time I'm meeting them as my gf and I met in my country and have been together for ~10 months.

On the first day day there (we landed yesterday late at night) I decided to "drop the kids in the pool." My gf was still in bed when I went and her mom was eating breakfast in the Living Room. It was a big dump and I tried to flush and it wouldn't go down... I decided to try again and still nope. I start to panic and wait till the water is fully replenished and press it down. At that moment I hear my gf and her mom talking, meaning I cant ask my gf for help without notifying the mom. I panic and decide to text my gf that I need help, but I hear her phone ring in her bedroom.

I then decide to go get her in a subtle way when her mom went to the kitchen. She is like "goddammit" and she goes with me to the toilet...she flushes it and ... still stuck obviously. So she walks away to her mom. At this point I realise I should have just been upfront immediately as now it looks like I'm hiding behind my gf. The mom says its absolutely no problem and gathers supplies to unclog the toilet and goes to get groceries as she was planning to do.

The unclogging doesnt work with the supplies, so my gf is like "I'll call my dad" as the uncle is also not home. Now you need to know I have also never met her dad either, he lives in a different country entirely (parents divorced).

So I hear her dad and his gf laugh with my gf over the phone in their language whilst I'm still working the toilet. At that point I realise I need to laugh with them or else it will just turn akward, so I introduce myself to them both and we all have a good laugh. He tells me that toilet has never been clogged before but advises to "cut the turds" and so I do and fortunately it works, I flush and clean the everything with my gf and we laugh in the meantime. After everything is clean I come to realise that I shit so much on the first day of meeting both of her parent that I clogged the toilet, and I'll be hearing this for the rest of my life from her, her parents, uncle and siblings. Forever known as the big pooper.

TL;DR I clogged the toilet at my gf's house on the day of meeting both of her parents and I'll most definitely be hearing about this for the rest of my life.

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...
