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 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 ...
