TIFU: gaslighting, subway, tears, puke lol

I stepped in dog poop on the way to the subway. It was so bad. I was super late though and didn’t even TRY AT ALL to get it off on the street or the grass or anything at all. The smell was….. horrendous. I was on my way to a shoot for a video I was about to be in…. I had to rush and was already so late!!!! I sat next to a woman and accidentally stepped on her bag’s belt that was dragging on the ground. When I stepped on it…. The poop …. Yea… it got on it completely. She smelled something RIGHT AWAY and asked me if I had spilled something. I said “no. I think you stepped in dog shit” and pointed to her belt. She fell silent and I turned beat red. There was a long pause.

She looked down at my shoes and started saying “I don’t think so. I think your boot has something on it.” To which I denied and said NOPE NOPE NOPE.

This woman, freaking GRABS her belt off of the ground, touches the poop onto her finger, brings it to her nose, smells it, and then sticks her finger out to me to smell.. MIND YOU we are on a public subway with people everywhere in NYC!!!!!! I finally break and say “it’s dog sh***”

AS IF SHE DIDNT ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT WAS?!? She freaks out and starts to cry. She wipes her fingers on her COAT and starts to gag in front her of me. She proceeds to baby puke on herself and me. Others recorded around us. The entire interaction is somewhere on YouTube. I took the next stop even though it wasn’t mine. I had another 30 min on the train. Someone chuckled as I got off. I know for a fact that it’s because they knew that I gaslit the hell out of this lady only to have the whole thing blow up even worse on me.

TLDR: Even small white lies can web and royally screw you. You’ll walk away with poop and throw up. And tears. All on you. At the same time.

Am I a bad bad person for starting all this? 😭

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...
