TIFU by meeting someone on bumble

I've been single for a long time, preferring to date casually and hit bars, clubs etc. I've been happy with this arrangement for a while, but recently I have been longing for someone more permanent in my life.

I signed up for a couple apps and started getting matches immediately. I found someone who wasn't really my type physically, but her personality was off the charts. I asked her last minute one night to go to a movie, we both showed up barely on time and wearing super casual clothes. We hung out afterwards and went to get something to eat before saying goodnight. No kissing, no awkwardness, just friendly.

We chatted all week and then had a miscommunication which made for a funny mid-week meet for a couple hours. Again nothing physical happened, I wanted to be respectful and move slowly. Although the physical attraction wasn't high, overall this girl checked all the boxes. I found myself looking forward to having a real date.

Then I went out of town for business for a few days. We both had said goodnight and I assumed she was busy. So I sent her a message the moment I was home and received a very cold reply.I Ieft it alone and the next day she sent me a text with a question about what happened to me. It started off with a somewhat happy tone but after a while she made it clear how horrible I was for not sending her a text message while I was traveling. It got worse when I pointed out that we both said goodnight at the same time and she easily could have sent me a message too. She's a 40 year old woman who's had one long term relationship her whole life and suddenly she's giving me dating advice. At that point I was trying to be diplomatic but she decided to go scorched earth and tell me everything that's wrong with me and why I'll never find someone.

I just replied that I dodged a bullet and blocked her. Now I'm getting phone calls from various numbers the last 2 days and somehow she's found a few friends and my ex on social media. Life is so good sometimes.

Be careful out there.

TL;DR. Met someone on bumble and after not texting for a few days she went full stalker.

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...
