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 by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
