TIFU and lost the girl of my dreams.

I (25m) have been travelling Thailand the past 6 weeks (no this is not going where you’re thinking) and for the first time today i had a real romantic connection with a girl on the beach. She was from Germany and was completely stunning. I was genuinely a little taken back by how attractive she was as I noticed her struggling to enter the sea because there were so many sharp rocks and jellyfish. We got to chatting and walked along the shore together speaking about shells we had found and i noticed how cute it was when she’d get really excited mid conversation. She told me she recently left work bartending and was studying socio-economics and was pleased to hear i play tennis as it’s something she’d recently been playing with her mum. As i was speaking to her i felt a calm confidence that rarely occurs for me in first time interactions with people and i recognised that i really wanted to spend more time with this person.

We agreed to exchange contacts and walking back to get her phone i spotted an eye of shiva shell in the sand, having never found one before, I had really been searching since another traveler showed me one a few weeks back. I showed it to her and she beamed with excitement and i told her it was hers. The coincidences continued as she handed me her phone to put in my instagram and i told her how i’d never met anyone else who is still using the iphone 12 mini. She laughed and here’s where i fuck up. She had no signal so as i type my username in the search wont load, she tells me to take a screenshot and she’ll add me later. For some dumb reason, I asked her to take the screenshot as my hands were covered in wet sand from the shell. She took the phone back. I said goodbye to her and her sister and said i’d maybe see her in the week to which she said that would be nice.

Bounding with confidence, i strode off to my things just a little way down the beach and sat for half an hour or so before leaving just ahead of sunset. It’s now been 8 hrs or so since i left that beach and Ive spent probably the last 6 of them with the gut wrenching realisation that i likely left my future wife there with no way of contacting me.

I am still yet to hear anything from her and while typically i’d assume she just wasn’t interested, this felt like a genuine connection and Ive learned recently how i have a real tendency to fail to pick up on those signals. All in all, i am gutted and concerned ill now spend the rest if my trip hopelessly looking out for her. Really kicking myself for how i even passed on the opportunity to head back over and try get a signal on my phone as i just sat there on the beach afterwards. Here’s to hoping i wake up to a follow in the morning and thanks for reading my stressed out drivel.

TL;DR - met a gorgeous girl on the beach i really connected with and noted a couple of coincidences and romantic moments that have since convinced me she was my future wife. I fumbled typing my details into her phone and now haven’t heard from her since :(

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...
