TIFU by inadvertently exposing my GFs excuse so she now has to swim in icy water on New Years Day

My GFs group of friends are into open water swimming, especially in the winter. My Gf has never been with them- I can’t blame her at all, it sounds horrible and I wouldn’t go. However when they’ve talked about going she’s always sounded really enthusiastic and very regretful that she can’t go because she’s working (which was always true). I semi believed she wanted to do it (hmm, maybe).

They always do a charity swim on New Years Day and we are never around because we go to her mum. This year for various reasons her mum is coming to us.

We’ve just been out with several of the friend group and I heard my GF say something about going to her Mum’s over New Year. I wasn’t really listening and butted in and said that she was coming to us in the afternoon. She then responded like oh yeah, she forgot and that works really well.

Turns out, GF was using this as an excuse not to go swimming and I’ve messed it up. She’s mega competitive so unlike me she can’t just say she doesn’t want to do it, even though they’d probably not care at all.

So unless she swallows her pride, she’s going for a cold dip, which I do feel bad about.

TL; DR - I accidentally exposed my GFs white lie about being away and now she’s going to pay for it by swimming in icy water on New Years Day.

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 ...
