TIFU by accidentally exposing myself to lead

I decided to post on here because i was listening to Smosh and Kallmekris around the time this went down.

I'm ruffly 14-16 and very into the arts. I have been into making jewelry resently and have gotten some new jewelry wire. I have had a hard time using it as it isn't as thin as I'm used to, and the ends keep sticking out and poking me when I make something. So I when downstairs to the basement to look in my dad's workroom to see if I could find anything useful, also he wasnt home. It seemed like he was working on somthing with wire and somthing that I think is called a cheeseboard or somthing with board in it. I saw this metal wire and I wanted to know if it would melt since the other metal wire I had wouldn't. (I was trying to melt the other wire to fuse two ends of a ring together, also I was using my dad's heat gun) Point is it melted so I made two shapes out of the metal and melted it. They came out as two very imperfect charms both had holes i could loop a string through. After that i went back upstairs and grabed my small metal file to shape the ruff edges and imperfections.

It came time to go to sleep and my mom told me to put stuff away after a bit I did. The next day I worked on it a bit but not to much and every time i cleaned up pretty good. Today l was working on it and my dad asked me what it was i was working on. I showed him the metal accessory i made and he asked me where i got it and what it was made of. I could have lied but I decided it was better not to since it usually just better just tell the truth (Unless it's sneaking snacks).

I told him that I made it with some wire form downstairs. He asked me to go get it. Once I gave it to him he looked at it and was like "I think this contains lead". He sat down and started reading it and told me and my mom it was tin mixed with 36% lead. My dad stated that it could cause neurological problems. I jokingly said "Dang it I have to many of those already". He did no find it amusing.

Me and my parents cleaned all my stuff up and i think we got most of the metal shavings. My mom said to take a shower so i did and am now in my room writing this. I know being exposed to lead can be very dangerous. My mom said she pretty sure I'll be fine but I'm still nervous about it.

TL;DR: I accidentally used partially lead based metal to make jewelry accessories and am nervous about it.

TIFU Accidentally taught my 4 year old nephew the word chlamydia

So I very awkwardly taught my nephew, the word chlamydia the other day and not in the way that you would think… It was actually very innocent. I was with one of my sister’s friends and my friends who’s become part of the family and I was telling her about an interesting fact, not thinking about how my nephew was right beside us. I told her did you know that koalas can get chlamydia and that they can give it to humans… just a fun fact… and then he who can barely say clear words most of the time clearest day said koala chlamydia so that happened And he went to his grandmother’s house today, so I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t say that, but at the same time I would die laughter and about pee my pants if he did because holy crap, how do you react to that? TL:DR I shared a fact about koalas and my nephew hung on to two words from the sentence. Those two words which he repeated were koala chlamydia.

TIFU having sex with the hot tub

Happened a year ago, but today was when I was told how bad this is.    Having sex with the hot tub is a terrible idea.  Not IN the hot tub.  WITH the hot tub.    I like to relax at night in the hot tub.  No lights on, dark sky and all alone in my backyard.  Sometimes, the hot water and bubbles hit the right spot and things can get aroused.  Usually not a big deal and a little masturbation to climax helps with the relaxing part of the evening.  However, this night, I was too stressed to finish, but the erection would not go away.  I decided I had to take care of the issue and looked for the most immediate, intense stimulation by sticking my penis right up against the jet flow.  The feeling was incredibly intense and the desired effect took place within a minute.    Now I could relax.  But, something didn’t feel right.   Touching my semi-erect penis, I realized it was flopped over to the side, half way up...

TIFU by paying attention in class

Today in psychology my professor was talking about discrimination and the way people can judge others based on initial impressions. I happened to be looking my professor in the eyes when he was speaking to us, which is what I do with everyone talking to me. For some reason he didn’t like this, he stared back at me and continued speaking until eventually he interrupted his lecture to call me out. He said, “you there in the hoodie! do you think anybody knows who you are?” in a slightly aggressive tone. I was completely caught off guard by this, and I felt a lot of anxiety and sudden tension in me rise. I eventually said “no” and he said “I could discriminate against you based on your hoodie.” I didn’t think anything was wrong initially because he could have just been trying to make an example out of me to add to the lecture, except he had never done this with any other student before which is what made me also think it could have been targeted. Everything was fine until I did it agai...
