TIFU by saying thank you

Okay so this wasn’t today but still a funny story

So a few years ago I went on a walk with someone I had recently broken up with. We went to one of our spots to relax and it was nice and dark but enough light to see each other. As we’re talking about regular things he randomly says “You know I love you right?” I immediately think in my head “he means as a friend right there’s no way” well it’s like he read my mind because he immediately said “not as a friend like I REALLY love you” I immediately felt myself freaking out I had never had anyone say those 3 little words to me especially not someone who was no longer my partner.

So I’m freaking out and stay silent until he says “Say something I’m freaking out” and all I could do was walk over and say “Aw thank you!” And then I kissed his cheek. (Pretty sure you can hear me facepalm through the screen). After that we walked some more, he walked me home and we said our goodbyes. I immediately called my best friend and told her and she told me to tell him how I feel so I texted him “BTW I love you too” and then threw my phone across the room.

Thankfully it was well received lol but we didn’t get back together at that time and now nearly 9 years later we’re together and have been for 5 years and moving in together soon 😂

TL;DR: Ex told me he loved me I thanked him and kissed his cheek, we’re together now and have been for 5 years

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...
