TIFU By Joking About Getting a Handie From My Partner's Roommate

So last Saturday, I (32M) went out to lunch with a friend of mine, Jack (32M). We've known each other since college, and have the same sense of humor, so we tend to be a little loud whenever we're joking in public.

Jack asked to get lunch because he knew my partner, Naomi (29F), was out of town for a conference and I would be free. We went to lunch at a quiet diner near me.

At the start of the meal, we were chatting a bit before he said something along the lines of "I'm glad we could have some guy time while Naomi is away!"

I replied by cartoonishly looking side to side, and telling him "Yeah, it's been good! But I need to tell you something. Last night, and I don't know how to say this ...Naomi's roommate gave me a handjob."

Jack started to laugh, but before either of us could say else, I felt cold water being splashed on the back of my head. I turned around and saw a 20-something year-old woman staring daggers at me. I guess she was paying-up at a nearby table, and overheard? She had an empty glass in her hand that she had clearly picked-up at an unused table that she had splashed at me.

She shouted that I was "Trash, absolute TRASH!" before storming out. I just sat there completely in shock as Jack kept laughing.

The thing that I knew, and that Jack knew, but clearly this woman didn't know: I am Naomi's roommate. We live together, just the two of us. The joke was that I was masturbating.

Now Jack is pissing himself and won't stop calling me "Trash-Absolute-Trash" like it's a military title. I know Naomi will find it hilarious too, but I'm worried I'm going to run into this pissed-off woman again at or near the diner! There is now someone, who might be living in my neighborhood, that I can run into at any point who hates me, all because of a dumb joke!

TL;DR: I made a joke implying I was cheating on my partner with her roommate, with the joke being that I am, in fact, her roommate.

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...
