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 by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
