TIFU by asking my cousin to see his anime figuRes

Obligatory: this didn't happen today, but a few weeks ago.

I (27f) recently took some time off to visit Japan for a week with some friends. At the same time, my cousin (26m) was visiting another country, but arranged his itenerary so he could spend one day in Japan and be on the same flight as me going home (we live in the same city). He and I grew up together like siblings until about grade school, and stayed close despite not living in the same state until recently.

On the day of our flight i met him at the airport and we were sitting at our gate, chatting about our respective trips, when the topic of his one day Japan exploration came up. He and i both have kind of nerdy interests, and when he told me he bought a carry-on bag just to bring home the anime figures he'd bought, I was really curious and asked to see them. He said he didn't feel like unpacking his carefully tetrised bag to show me, and tried to placate me by telling what characters he'd gotten and describing the specific outfits they wore. that just made me wan't to see them more. I told him i would help him remember how his bag was packed and put everything away the exact same, how we had a solid 40 minutes before boarding so there was plenty of time to organize everything, and that we had nothing else to really do or talk about. With that, there was nothing left for him to argue with and he relented, opening up his carry-on duffel.

He pretended it wasn't there and simply moved it aside to show me the figure boxes underneath, but i would've had to be blind to not see the obvious fleshlight at the top of his bag. It was still in it's packaging, but there was a clear plastic window in the box facing me and i could see the opening of it had ridges and spikes and shit. there was also pictures of a busty woman in lingerie all over the box. I completely ignored it and focused on the figures he was pulling out to show me. When he was done, he awkwardly put everything away (not difficult, as the bag literally just had 5 or 6 boxes in it) by himself. I didn't offer to help him as i'd previously promised, and he didn't request it of me. He had this vacant look on his face like he was trying to astral project into another reality, and I'm not sure how well i was able to control my own expression. We were quiet for a while until I pulled some bullshit out of my ass to talk about until boarding.

Again, we're very close and each consider the other to be our "favorite cousin". He's comfortable telling me about what anime girls he finds hot or showing me sexualized figures/art, but that's completely different from me seeing a sex toy that he plans on using. Not to mention, we were surrounded by other people and some of them definitely saw the fleshlight, or at least the packaging with the barely clothed woman on it. It wasn't even a 2d anime girl, but an irl gravure model with her nipples out. I feel bad for pressuring him into revealing something embarrassing to me and the elderly strangers around us. I'm sure he never wanted me to know he uses stuff like fleshlights, or that he went out of his way to buy one in another country. Also, it was specialized fleshlight that had spikes and was battery powered, which i think is worse than if it had been your run-of-the-mill fleshlight.

Soon after, we boarded our 15+ hour flight back home. I felt guilty so I gave him my phone to play games (i had a lot of games that don't need wifi) for the whole flight. he got really addicted to a stupid puzzle game and hopefully it took his mind off the situation.

tl;dr: i pestered my cousin into showing me an explicit sex toy in a crowded public space. Sorry man.

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...
