TIFU by flashing an entire restaraunt

So this was about a month ago, but I am still mortified. I am a trans woman and have been publicly out for about a year now. A few months ago I started experimenting with more feminine clothing and fell in love with flowy skirts, dresses, etc. I’m sure some can see where this is going…

I was sitting on the curb after work waiting for an Uber. Now, I’ve been wearing skirts and such for a while at this point, and it’s not like I don’t know the obvious “don’t spread your legs” etiquette, but admittedly at times I forget things like this. After such a long day my mind was completely elsewhere, and all I could think about was how badly my feet hurt in the new boots I just bought. I dressed up extra fancy that day because a friend was having a get together later that night. I was a Barista at the time and after a full shift of standing in heels all I wanted was to sit and relax.

So I’m sitting on this curb with my knees to my chest, just scrolling Instagram when I finally look up and.. my heart drops. Across the street, I’m faced with my reflection in the window of a busy restaurant. After a few cars pass I can get a closer look, and that’s when it hits me. I’ve been flashing every poor soul that’s passed me by my bright pink underwear. Immediately I crossed my legs and assume at that point that I was red as a tomato.

I looked closer to see if anyone would’ve realistically been able to see anything, and all I can do is assume the window seaters were too caught up in their own convos too look outside… But the psychic damage had already been done. I hung my head in embarrassment and dipped tf outta there as SOON as that Uber arrived 😭

tldr: I sat on the curb in a short skirt and forgot how skirts work, effectively flashing an entire restaraunt

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...
