TIFU by misunderstanding my gynecologist

This actually happened on Thursday, but my soul has only just now come back to my body.

I visited the gynecologist on Thursday for my yearly exam. I see a male gynecologist, and while he’s a little awkward, he’s a very nice guy, a good doctor, and hasn’t given me “creep” vibes.

Before he came in, I took off everything except my socks and put on the little gown they gave me. I settled on the bed and then he entered.

We make a little bit of small talk just so we’re not in silence, go through the “any concerns, anything you need to bring up since last visit etc” and then it’s time for the old peek. I put my legs in the stirrups and he begins his exam.

He must be feeling awkward from the silence, because after a minute, he says “oh, you must have a cat, huh?” I do have a couple of cats, but I hadn’t mentioned that to him.

My brain short-circuits. How can he tell I have cats just from looking at my vagina? Does it smell like cats down there?! So I say “why?? does my vagina smell?”

He must have interpreted my question as “why does my vagina smell?” And he said “I’m not smelling anything right now, can you describe the smell?”

My brain goes into overdrive. What the fuck does he mean can I describe it? He’s the one down there?? So I clarify “can I describe the cat-vagina smell??”

He pauses and sits up straight and just says “what?”

And so I say, “do I smell like cats down there? How could you tell I have cats?”

His face turns bright red and he points to my foot in the stirrup, or more specifically the cat socks I’m wearing, which also happen to have a single white cat hair clinging to the sock.

I said “oh. I thought my vagina smelled like cats or something.”

He shook his head and he very quickly finished up.

So my vagina doesn’t smell like cat, but I don’t think I can go back to him.

TL;DR I thought my gynecologist could smell my cats on my pussy.

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 ...
