TIFU by starting a fight between my parents

Due to some circumstances, a conversation struck up between me and my mum. I was talking about how mentally exhausting my parents are when the fight, and how they, when the other is not there, secretly rage and swear and scorn each other. I told my mum clearly, that she was the scarier of the two, who usually is really angry during a fight and swears a lot. And when it came to my dad, I told her that yeah he also swears sometimes. And my mother looked concerned. I though I made it pretty clear with my mum that, between the two, she swears behind the back more and rants more, and that my dad is a little bit more conservative with the swearing. But BOTH my mum and dad have this thing where they tell each other everything I say even when I tell them not to.

So of course my mum learns this information and goes to pick a fight with my dad about it. She also has this issue where can't drop things. She just keeps nagging and repeating herself and can't drop a subject until it blows up in everyone's face and makes a huge fight. I told her not to tell him that I said that, because he's going to get angry at me and you're going to have a fight. But no, she doesn't listen, she doesn't drop it, and argues into oblivion until my parents are screaming at each other in the middle of the night.

My dad interrogated me saying why I told her those things, and tried to explain to my mum and me that I was lying. I wasn't. But I don't think I was clear enough about how cool he was compared to my mother and how rare it is for him to swear behind her back. My mum also has this thing where she exaggerates and puts words into my mouth. So she obviously extended what I said straight to my dad. Now my dad is angry at me, I'm angry at my mum, and my parents are super pissed.

I dont know why my mother feels so betrayed by my father swearing at her behind her back, when I explained very well, that she's worse when it comes to that and swears and rants 1000x worse.

Now it's nearly 1 am, I'm posting this, and my parents are really going at each other.

TL;DR: I told my parents they swear behind each other's back, and now there's a huge fight.

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...
