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 by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
