TIFU by greenlighting a NSFW gift to my husband from his mom.

This FU happened a few Christmas’s ago, but the fallout finally hit this year.

My MIL likes to get themed family gifts every year. Matching PJs, matching lap desks for the couch, etc. A few years ago, she texted the group chat (which my husband refuses to open or check) that she was buying everyone a personalized couch pillow. The kind that hugs you, and has pockets for remote/phone/etc.

She sent the options she thought my husband and I would like and asked us to choose. They were tiny thumbnail pictures but I did my best. My husband loves anime, so when she suggested the anime one for him, I said absolutely, without looking closely at the pillow.

Christmas Day arrived, we open our pillows, and my husband goes silent. He mumbles “thank you” and takes the pillow straight to our bedroom. When we watched movies later, MIL asked why he wasn’t using his pillow. He babbled a bit about not wanting the dogs to get fur on it, and changed the subject.

That night when we went to bed, he showed me the pillow and said “look at the character. What do you see?”

“A happy anime girl?” I replied cautiously.

“No babe. It’s a hentai girl. That’s a pillow covered in O faces.”

Now I’m no internet noob, I know what hentai is. But I didn’t catch it AT ALL. In my shame, we never told MIL why the pillow stayed in the bedroom, and left it at “dog fur.”

This Christmas, it all came out. MIL expressed her sadness that my husband didn’t like his pillow, because she never saw him using it. For some reason, he blurted out that he loved it, but it wasn’t appropriate to use during family time.

We had to explain the whole story. My very religious MIL looked like she swallowed nails.

And now she knows she got her son a porn pillow… and I told her to do it.

TL;DR Religious MIL found out that I told her to get her son a porn pillow for Christmas.

Edit: the pillow in question “anime pillow”

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...
