TIFU forgetting that elevators aren’t private

For the last 2 fucking years, I’ve been going into office 3 days a week. Each of those days started with me stepping into an elevator to the 14th floor and ended with me coming off the elevator at the 1st floor. In between there are countless times where I’d use the elevator for lunch or whatever occasion I need to step out for.

Without fail, everytime I have ever been in this elevator alone. I’d do some goofy shit because it’s my own personal space.

Sometimes I’d dance to whatever song is playing in my earbuds, if it’s lil Wayne I’d do throwing money gestures. If it’s benson boon I’d do an air guitar and sing out LOUD - imagine the high note of “PLEAAASE” in beautiful things.

2 years I’ve been doing goofy shit like this, including throwing it back and catching myself doing it and laughing out loud saying “Bruh I’m actually stupid af”

Today, I walked towards the elevators like usual and found myself alone in it once again… so, I Looked at the elevator’s mirror and started posing like I’m in a body building contest. Started yelling out “LOOK AT YOU! Yeaaah! BIG MAN ON THE SCENE! grunt “POSE SWITCH” another grunt “THE MUSCLE! 😩 ” GRUNT “THE DEFINITION! 🤯 “

Then the elevator doors opened so I gave myself the finger guns 👉👉 in the mirror as I regained my composure before I conducted myself professionally as I walked into the office. I know you’re already judging, I would NEVER do this in public but genuinely speaking these little moments brighten up my day sometimes because I get to act aloof. I live my day to day life pretty restrained and this is one way for me to ease up the tension a bit.

Outside of that elevator I swear to god you would NEVER expect this from me. I’m so stuck up at work and know the corporate lingo to a fault. I’m the guy who talks about action items, meeting agendas and product life cycles.

I greet everyone with a good morning and “have a wonderful night!”…including security.

Well today as I left the office a bit earlier than usual. The security clerk spotted me walking towards the exit from a distance and I shit you not he yelled out word for word “PRAH! BIG MAN ON CAMPUS!”

The way my face flushed

I said “Pardon me?”

He said “Oh sorry I was talking to my colleague”

“Oh…”

“Have a good night!”

Gives me finger guns

Bruh they can fire my ass IGAF , I am NEVER working from office again until he retires at least.

TLDR: Forgot about elevator cameras and acted like a goofball for 2 years while security was eating popcorn.

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...
