TIFU by telling my friends about Wasp Wife.

Last night, I had a dream in which I was in my yard hunting for frogs. I like catching them, studying them, and trying (and failing) to draw them later, so when I found an exquisitely lumpy toad, I sprung at the opportunity to grab him. Nearby was an injured yellow jacket, and a second even smaller yellow jacket, the larger of whom later came to my house in the form of a tall, beautiful woman.

Said tall beautiful woman thanked me for saving her and her daughter from the 'evil hunger' (toad), and offered to tell the other wasps in the area something on my behalf. I told her to tell them not to come into my sister's bedroom anymore, because that scares her and I keep having to take them back outside, and then she offers to teach me how to speak wasp. I like languages, so I said yes.

Well, over a long period of time in the dream, I ended up learning the language of wasps, learning her name (which meant Tower), meeting her daughter. I stopped using citronella candles and bug spray. I married her. We baked bread. She went hunting. I taught her daughter how to draw.

Then I woke up, baffled, wondering how the hell I managed to dream about marrying a fucking wasp. So, I told my friends, who I love dearly. One of the religious ones immediately told me it was a sign that I need to marry the real wasp spirits. Three of them say they ship it. One of them asked me questions about her; four of them pushed me to write a story about her. My D&D group, I accidentally moved my token like 40 feet past where I wanted to go, and one of them told me that my character was trying to find wasp wife.

TL;DR: I had a dream about marrying a magical wasp and my friends won't stop laughing at me.

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...
