TIFU by wearing a dress to work

Today I decided to wear a beautiful dress I thrifted with my mom last year. The dress itself has what I consider a mid length skirt - it stops just above the knees. It flares out at the waist. Since it’s summer here, and my co-workers have also started to wear miniskirts and dresses, I thought, why not!

When I put it on in the morning, I definitely considered putting on a pair of safety shorts underneath. Again, I thought it wasn’t that short a dress, so I decided against it. BOYYY was I wrong.

Throughout the day, I actually got so many compliments for my dress - needless to say I was chuffed. Now a little bit about my job: since I’m the youngest in the office, I have to do lots of manual tasks. This includes collecting packages, picking things up, etc.

Towards the end of the day I had to bend over into a deep container to retrieve something. I was bending so much I nearly fell into the bin (I’m also super short lol). It was then I felt a few light taps on my back from my manager who asked “Uhh… do you need some help?”. I didn’t know what was going on so I just politely refused since I had found the thing I needed.

I didn’t think much of it then, until HOURS later. Turns out that because of how flared my dress is, everytime I bent over it would ride up my bum and I’d essentially be flash my ass. I work in an open plan office, so this meant I flashed my ass, possibly several times that day, TO EVERYONE. The mid length skirt became mini on my behind and I hadn’t realised it!

The post dress clarity hit me HARD. I texted my manager right away who confirmed that they came over to help because my skirt had rode up so much. They were nice enough to tell me that “it wasn’t bad” and that “nobody saw anything”, but I am TREMENDOUSLY embarrassed.

Guess it’s no skirts or dresses for a little while!

TL;DR: Wore a dress to work today naively thinking the skirt wasn’t that short. Proceeded to flash my ass to everyone at work.

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...
