TIFU by going on a week long trip with my guy "friends"

Every year I go to a music camp with my guy friends. I flew down to meet them and take a 12 hour long road trip to the music camp. I always thought they were genuine friends and were always very nice to me.

Until this year. This is the first year since I've been going that I am in a serious relationship. My boyfriend knows I am with them and he trusts me. I genuinely just saw these guys as friends. I can now however see that they were only nice to me in the past, in hopes of potentially getting with me.

This time around they're rude af. They look at eachother and start laughing when I say anything. They exclude me and literally say things like "bla bla bla", when I am trying to talk. The way they talk about women in front of me is absolutely atrocious and I've never seen this behavior from them.

Now, I do know that some had a crush on me in the past but I drew boundaries and everything was normal...until I got a boyfriend.

I should've known. I wish they told me they didn't want me part of the trip and I didn't make it all the way down to their ends. I feel so dumb. I was so excited to hangout with my friends and they're treating me like I don't exist, just because I am no longer single. Now before I get comments about why I am hanging out with guys by myself, Ive known them since I was 13- and to me they seemed like brothers to me.

I am sharing an Air bnb with them for 5 more days and I am already not enjoying my time.

TLDR: I decided to spend time with my longterm guy friends but they suddenly treat me pretty shittily just because I am no longer single and drew boundaries

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...
