TIFU One of my wife’s NSFW nicknames is public in a WhatsApp group for our kids soccer team.

She never posts, reacts or responds so I’d never seen it on screen before. We’re present at all practices and games so the online chat which is mostly score updates and highlights doesn’t really interest us as we’re there for it. Last season some of the parents were as cliquey as players can be so nothing was specifically directed our way regardless. I don’t mess with WhatsApp at all myself and this is the only group I’m in. I’m the more extroverted of the two of us so I’ll comment once in a while or update on my daughter’s availability for this session or that.

The first game of the season was last night so again being there I didn’t need to check the goal video. I recorded it myself from a superior angle as the rest of the parents were at field level and I was viewing from a balcony.

Tldr: The new soccer season for my 15 year old daughter started officially this week and my wife was added to the group after me in view of dozens of other parents. How her name appears in my phone contacts got shared automatically.

“So-and-so added Abigail Tittz to the group.”

I checked with the coach and he was dying because it is visible for all apparently. He didn’t bring it up with us. According to him she had a different top-heavy-specific name last season. I’ve given her more pet names over the years than I could count.

I changed her contact name immediately in my phone to her actual first name and married last. My daughter is mortified and I’ve embarrassed myself and my wife in front of the coach, director and dozens of other soccer parents both familiar and new to the team.

EDIT: It sounds like it was possibly her fuck up as I’m not familiar with WhatsApp.

Yeah it’s on her because for all is still says “Juggz McGee” which I didn’t realize either rn apparently. It’s the name of her iPhone and comes up on the display when her Bluetooth is on in the car.

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...
