TIFU: going out in public after a long fast and having GI issues

So last night I ended a 72 hour fast & if anyone knows the after effects of eating after a long fast, you know it’s best to stay close to home. But I thought my middle of the night stomach rumblings were it and I have shit to do. (Ehh, funny, but not)

So I’m out running errands and my stomach says ‘no!’ So I waddle to the ‘women’s lounge’ of a nice department store and unleash a fury from my behind that could have rumbled the building. I’m not sure, I may have blacked out for a moment while praying my continued flushing was hiding the gas & splatter I subjected this very busy restroom to. My poo sounded like pee in spurts. If you’ve done a colonoscopy prep—like that but stinky because it’s not all water. And the smell…omg. I had egg drop soup to break my fast and an omelette for breakfast. The smell was rancid. Too many eggs….

The restrooms are set up with sinks on right and left as you walk in, then a T shape with about 6 restrooms on the right, 6 on the left. I finish my business and when I leave, the other 5 stalls on my side of the T are full. I walk out and a lady walks in and turns to the side I was on. There was only 1 stall she could go to. I’m certain she saw me walk out from that side too, so she knew it was me who had been in there.

I finish washing my hands and as I grab a paper towel, turning towards the T intersection, the lady is walking to the other half of the stalls covering her mouth. We make eye contact. Long. Direct. Eye contact. I force a smile. She looks down. And I’m pretty sure I died, like my insides. Dead.

If that lady sees this…I’m sorry! I’ll put some poo-pourie in my purse next time I fart that long!

TL/DR: pooped a nasty poop in public and a lady walked into the stall I had been in, walked out & made eye contact with me. Awkward!

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...
