TIFU by accidentally turning into the local food guy and now everyone asks for my advice

I've been trying some of the local food spots lately and posting little reviews on my story like nothing crazy, just like how good this food tastes or the ones I had a bad experience with. I didn't think anyone will take me serious tbh i just enjoyed doing it. Only reason I've been eating out so much is because I had some wild luck with entertainment recently and figured why not explore the food scene instead of living off sad desk salads.

But I was wrong turns out a lot of my followers, living close to me have been using my reviews to pick what they eat and now I'm getting DMs asking about specific dishes. The breaking point was when this lady stopped me at the grocery store to thank me for saving her from terrible takeout because apparently my story about that sketchy Chinese place prevented her from ordering there 💀

Then yesterday some dude recognized me at Starbucks and asked if I'd tried the new taco truck yet. BRO I just wanted my overpriced coffee in peace like now I'm paranoid that random people are watching my every food move like I'm running some influencer cooking channel.

Now I feel this weird responsibility to actually try everywhere or I'm letting down my followers?? I didn't sign up to be the neighborhood food oracle but here we are 🤷‍♀️

TL;DR I casually posted food reviews for fun and accidentally became the neighborhood food expert. Now people recognize me and expect recommendations.

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...
