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 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 ...
