TIFU by being clueless when girls flirt with me.

Not today but many years ago. I’ve always been a bit clueless and think that most girls wouldn’t want to flirt with me and I’m sure over the years I have missed some good opportunities.

This one incident happened when I was a teenager. I was active in my churches youth group and I would drive other kids around and take them home etc. for a few months there was this girl with red hair that I thought was cute but didn’t think anything would happen, I hadn’t had any serious girlfriends yet. She would always hang out around me and would always try to get me to take her home and ride in my truck with me. I drove a manual transmission truck with a bench seat and somehow she always ended up sitting next to me so I’d have to reach between her legs to shift the truck. She’d let me rest her hand on her knee and just generally sat as close to me as she could.

One night she was the last person I had to drop off and we just generally chatted and at her house we got out of my truck and were just talking. She then said, this may sound weird but I have a favor to ask, can I kiss you? I want to practice kissing so I can be good at it.

I was like, sure that’s sounds fine. So she leans in and we kissed for a bit, it was really nice I very much enjoyed it. Then she backs up and I was like wow… so I said something like, you are really good at kissing and definitely don’t need to practice. Then I was like well it’s getting late and basically changed the subject and was like it’s getting late I hope you have a good day at school tomorrow, chatted for a few more seconds then left.

It wasn’t until I was in my 40’s that I remembered that and told that to someone and she was like, you idiot she was totally into you and wanted more!!! That’s when it clicked, I was so clueless I missed a perfect opportunity! As I get close to 50 I wonder just how many women have flirted with me and tried to get with me and I’ve just been clueless.

TL;dr I am a clueless and was a clueless teenager who has missed opportunities with girls flirting with me and even had a girl ask me to kiss her for “practice” and I took her literally and kissed her and didn’t realize she wanted more.

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...
