TIFU: Might’ve really fucked up an interview

Had an interview for a job today, decent amount of hours, the pay is awful, still kinda need it nonetheless. For a little context I’m 20 and it’s probably my third interview ever since i had a job that I got first try and kept it for a couple of years. Anyways it’s going well, albeit weird questions like asking if I’ve dealt with screaming children before? I thought it was really strange but still the interview was going pretty well.

So firstly I make up a time about in my old job how i did have some kid that was upset (I didn’t at all) because idk I felt pressured to say yes in a sense. I worked in a bank, it was pretty much only old people that came in asking how to withdraw money etc. Probably a bad annecdote I used since I just bullshitted on the spot.

Next question comes and it’s a time I’ve helped someone. Now Im not a bad guy by any means but Im hardly perfect, so I dont help people out very often, not that Id say no if they did. My mind immediately thinks to when someone close to me passed away and I blurt out that I helped my friend through it and it really sours the mood, so much so that they just move on to the next question after writing a couple of words, all while acting completely normal as if I didn’t just say that to someone on the first time meeting them. Im probably not getting that job but oh well lol.

TL;DR Had a job interview and made up a time i had to deal with screaming children (i did not at all) so probably messed up that question, next Im asked about how i’ve helped someone in the past- immediately think of someone I knew who died and blurt out I helped someone through it and immediately ruins the mood and the question, probably failing the interview from what i can tell

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...
