TIFU by trying to show my cat what I was doing

Okay, so, I am REALLY upset about this. I was painting today, and it was really going okay, but I have a cat who's really rambunctious and likes to invade my personal space. Now, I've moved up to the table to paint (in the past, I liked sitting on the floor and painting, but he'd step on everything and get messy), so I didn't really expect him to really do anything, let alone today because he was really chill. I Was almost finished painting, when he came over to see what I was doing. I looked down at him and said hello, all the normal stuff. I had a paintbrush FULL of bright yellow paint, and I was going to show him so that he'd hopefully stay away, but the paint was runny, unbeknownst to me, and a giant blob of it just dropped on the poor guy's arm and he took off and started running around my house. He left little yellow paw prints all over the hardwood floor and the carpets. I had to WRESTLE him to get ahold of him, and I saw the mess I had inflicted on my poor little boy, bright yellow paint all over his white coat. It was really just on his shoulder, but it was so incredible that that much paint (Not that much) could cover such a large space. I immediately took him to the bathroom so I could clean him off, and I bathed him as best as I could, but I was in TEARS and didn't prepare for this, so it was really hard. I eventually got all the paint off him and we sat on the floor for a while, and I wrapped him up in a towel. I feel so bad for him because I know he hates baths, and I hate giving them to him. I'm shaking right now, I feel so guilty because I didn't know the paint was THAT runny, and I just wanted to show him what I was doing. He's okay now, though, just still drying off. I hope I can just look back on this and laugh.

TL;DR: I accidentally got paint on my cat and had to give him a bath. I am very sad and he will get lots of treats.

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...
