TIFU by dislocating my finger while putting on my sock

Okay, while this did happen a week ago, i think it's appropriate to put this here. I had been hitting the gym for a solid 2 hours. I was done with my workout and walked to the changing rooms. I showered, changed clothes, and it was time to put my socks back. (I use different socks for gym shoes) I changed my socks and I noticed that my feet were very sweaty. Not just sweaty, they were downright soggy. And I knew that the battle with the sock was inevitable. I went in Roman style, full on attack. Put the sock against my wet foot, and started pulling. I pulled and pulled, until...... snap. I wondered what happened, something was feeling off in my right hand. I looked, and goddamn, my middle finger was looking like a drawn seagull or a wave. I panicked a little, luckily I was alone in the changing room. I left the changing room fast with my shoes on without the socks. The finger started to swell, and hurt. I was holding back tears at this point, but i fought my way to the hospital. There I showed the finger to a doctor who told me to sit down, he put a local anesthesia shot in the finger, and started operating. He was observing and fiddling it weird and asking how i feel and shit, until he suddenly just popped it right back. It felt kinda discomfortable but it was worth it. This entire procedure took only an hour or so, insane. It hurt for the next few days. Still does a little. The most embarrassing fuck up of my life so far.

TL;DR: I dislocated my finger while pulling up a sock on my wet foot.

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...
