TIFU by accidentally thinking my friends were dating…

I (18m) am in my first year of college. A friend of mine, Jake (18m), was in highschool and we both ended up at the same college. Within the first week, we hung out a lot and I managed to meet a lot of fellow college students I had been in contact with prior to moving in. One of which was my really good friend Tommy (18m).

I am gay, so naturally I attract a lot of fellow queer people--being an an art college doesnt help--in which, both Tommy and Jake are gay. At some point, the two of them ran into each other and spoke. They both, seperately, texted me to say they met the other. Ever since, whenever I see them, they are together and hanging out. You never see Tommy without Jake, or Jake without Tommy.

I noticed they were spending a lot of time together, and made a note before moving on. Eventually, our college hosted a fair. I attended, eventually seeing Tommy and Jake aswell. I ended up following the two around, and as i did.. I noticed how in sync they were and how close they seemed. I thought, maybe they liked each other? But i didnt think much of it, until our next hang out...

Today, I went to dinner with a few friends. I had a bunch of friends come and go, the two staying the longest were Tommy and Jake. I ended up not feeling well, in which Tommy began to INSIST to walk me back to the room. Jake following aswell. Everytime, throughout the dinner and walk home, i would make a private jab to the two of them. I just thought it was a funny coincidence i was running into frequently. Nothing serious. I always made sure the other was out of ear shot when I made these jokes, and they both laughed.

When I was in my dorm, and the two left, Tommy texted me and told me he liked Jake. That i was onto him, and that Jake didnt know, so dont tell him. I told him it was pretty clear Jake liked him too, and he should go for it! I then, looked over to see that Jake texted me. Jake said that he liked Tommy. He told me "i dont know if were dating or not. dont want to force anything"

I thought that meant Tommy and Jake were seeing each other, but without a label. So i told Tommy that Jake told me everything, and Jake that i was happy for the two of them!!

Only then did Jake say that he hadn't actually confessed to Tommy. And i realized just... Fumbled the bag. I then immediately told them both to just text each other and confess. I had let it be known the feelings were mutual on accident, all because i assumed the message meant they were just seeing eachother secretly...

TL;DR: I accidentally let it slip that two of my friends like each other because i assumed they were already dating

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...
