TIFU by getting tipsy and burning my hair in a sauna

So, this happened last night, and I still can't believe I managed to mess up a perfectly romantic evening. My husband (M33) and I (F29) decided to treat ourselves to a fancy night away in a hotel. We booked this amazing spa wellness room that had its own jacuzzi and sauna.

After settling in, we opened a bottle of really good wine and started to unwind in the jacuzzi. A few glasses in and I was feeling tipsy, confident, and downright sexy. That’s when I decided it was time to try out the sauna. This wasn’t just any sauna; it had a window so my husband could watch me "sweat it out" while enjoying his drink. It felt like a scene out of a (romantic) movie.

I stepped in, made myself comfortable, and tried to lay down on the bench to look all relaxed and sultry. Key word: tried. The sauna was small, and, well, alcohol doesn’t exactly improve motor skills. As I was repositioning myself, I didn’t realize how close my head was to the hot coils. Suddenly, I smelled something... weird.

Yup. My hair had fallen into the hot coils and started burning! The smell hit me immediately, and I bolted upright, freaking out. Now, here’s the kicker: my husband had taken a dose of 2CB earlier for sexy time, so when he saw me panicking through the window, he just sat there, completely incapacitated by uncontrollable laughter. By the time he finally managed to stumble into the sauna, the damage was already done.

The lower part of my hair is now fried, uneven, and crispy. So much for feeling confident and sexy... Ofcourse googling emergency hair repair tips wasn't of any help. My husband kept bursting into fits of laughter every time he looked at me, eventually I was able to shake off fear and we had a good laughter together.

TL;DR: Got tipsy during a romantic night away, tried to look sexy in a sauna, and burned the lower part of my hair on the hot coils. My husband, who was on 2CB, couldn’t stop laughing long enough to help. Now I’m rocking the “crispy chic” look.

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...
