TIFU By going outside to swing in Hello Kitty PJs.

So, I (21F) like to swing in my backyard to decompress. Sometimes I go out in the middle of the day and sometimes I go out at like 9:00 at night when I get off work. My whole family knows and doesn't care. I just sit on the swings listening to music with my earbuds in, drifting off into La La Land. This time was no different. Now I do have to mention it was a bit chilly outside and it was at 9:22 when I went outside. I was only wearing Hello Kitty PJ'S as it was the only warm-est PJs I had at the time. So, I'm swinging for a good 20 minutes when I see my mother come out to check on me. Now I thought it was because the swings were being too loud as they do creek every time I swing or she was telling me to come inside because it was late. No, she just goes back inside so I continue doing my own thing. The nice thing I have to mention is my headphones were on full volume so I couldn't hear a damn thing. She then comes back out and gestures for me to come over to her, and I did. Still assuming my original thought.

Well, it turns out a backyard neighbor called the cops on us! They called the cops concerned that a 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL is outside swinging with no proper winter attire on. Scaring the crap out of my mom because no kid under the age of 14 should be outside. I can't find it she has a 10-year-old nephew but no daughter. She had to walk up to the cops after checking the backyard to tell them that instead of a 10 year old girl, it was instead her 21-year-old daughter. Safe to say she told me to come back outside between laughs.

So apparently me wanting to swing in the middle of the night in Hello Kitty pajamas was calling the cops worthy. Guess next time I have to wear less "kid-ish" attire or put on a coat so we don't have the cops on us again lol.

TL;DR: I went outside to swing in my own backyard in Hello Kitty pajamas as adult. Nosy neighbor called the cops on us thinking I was a child swinging in the dark.

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...
