TIFU by eating chocolate covered pretzels

TIFU my family read the written account of my first BJ

Fuck. My. Life. Either going to end it or retreat to somewhere deep in the jungles of the Amazon.

I (20M) have been a writer my whole life. I’ve made decent money with a few novellas and I’ve been piecing together a novel in my spare time. I’ve been journaling since the third grade up until senior year and I’ve built an impressive chronology of my life, albeit with a few gaps when things were busy. Of course as I passed puberty my entries got a little more explicit, and even more so when I got my first girlfriend at 14. I had a lot of my firsts with her, basically everything short of intercourse, and I made the mistake of scribbling every little detail in my entries.

Last weekend I came home from uni for my little brother’s (16M) birthday and we got to talking about his little girlfriend. He’s into writing just like me and my Dad, and he told me that he took up journaling the year prior. He admitted a little sheepishly that he had written a poem about his first blowjob, and I laughed and told him that I had written about mine as well. I found my freshman year journal up in the attic (CA houses don’t have basements for some reason) and we compared and contrasted our writings. Overall a 10/10 bonding experience, pretty funny and surprisingly profound.

This is where it goes to shit: I left the journal spread page-down on his dresser and we left the house to celebrate as brothers. When we got back my family was already waiting for us in the living room. Turns out that my family always believed I was jotting down stories in my journals (I had never told her the truth because I was a private kid and didn’t want my snoopy Mom knowing I had a diary) and they planned to crack them open upon my return to reminisce about what I was cooking up as a kid. Well she snatched up the freshman year journal, already spread open to the BJ entry, and started reading aloud without a second thought. The writing was intentionally ambiguous with mainly sensory detail, so they didn’t realize what it was about at first. That is until she read the line where I detailed the intricacies of my orgasm, when it became VERY clear that it was about a MY blowjob. My family, Christian to a fault, turned to me in horror, realizing that they had just bared witness to the written account of my first BJ. My Mom asked if my other entries were like that and I sheepishly squawked out a “yes…” before leaving the house.

I’m writing this in my car and I’m mortified. My whole extended family was there and heard it all. The worst part is, there’s a treasure trove of entries just like that waiting to be unearthed in the attic. They could be there right now. FUCK.

TL;DR Journaled my first blowjob at 14 and my mom read it out loud to my whole family at 21.

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...
