TIFU by eating chocolate covered pretzels

TIFU by almost get trafficked, I think?

So I’m (20m) not totally sure what could’ve happened, but hence the title I think it was something to do with trafficking. For those familiar with the world of Grindr, it’s pretty much just used for sex and meets. However, catfishing is really big apparently - I wasn’t aware of this.

I did my usual, finishing working at stupidly late then went on Grindr after having a drink to see what’s going on. I’d never met anyone before and I am kind of new to it still. I finally decided to do it and meet someone I found with (19m). They sent me loads of pics/vids and was fairly local and seemed incredibly real. I suggested meeting not them. It was about 4am and seemed like nothing that bad could’ve happened.

When I checked the maps of the location I noticed it was a small neighbourhood street just off of some country lanes, and it was just a loop. My brain did start to freak out about what could’ve happened but I shut it down as just usual overthinking. I drove there, about 10 minutes away, and then waited outside in my car. They said they’d be 2 minutes and after about 10 minutes I got a text asking to keep my window down so they could see it was me when they came out - which I obviously didn’t do.

At that moment I decided it was getting sketchy and I wasn’t gonna wait outside, instead I’d wait round the corner and drive when they said they’re out. But then a car pulls up and almost blocks me in. The guys window was down and he was slightly older and definatly not the same guy. There was a car parked infront of me but I purposely left a gap due to my worries. He tried blocking me and smiles at me but I immediately sped past. I saw his reverse livjts come on just as I turned on my car so I knew he was trying to trap me.

I knew the road was a loop so at the ended I turned the other way thinking he was just going to try block the country lane. But that was a cul de sac. To make the story short I managed to get through the country lanes without seeing him.

At the end of the lanes there was a turn in and I saw the same white car stopped so I drove on the other side of the road to get past and sped off. They didn’t try persue me.

I have endlessly tried to rack my brain as to what was going to happen. It wasn’t just someone else catfishing cause they wouldn’t have lied about being in the house. I don’t know what they would’ve got from trapping me there but this was also a residential road I could’ve just slammed my horn down if anything happened. I genuinely cannot think what it is apart from an attempt at taking me/raping me?

I’ve been trying to think it’s just me being anxious about it but that’s not the case, I really think something bad could’ve happened and I cannot stop thinking about it. I need to make sense of it really.

TL;DR: I went to meet a guy from Grindr but a car pulled up trying to block me in. I think they were probably attempting to do things to me. The whole thing was planned out but I managed to speed away and get home safe. I’m not sure what could’ve happened

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...
