TIFU - Robot Vacuum Edition

TIFU by drinking 5 litres of liquid in 4 hours.

So after waking at 6am and realising I had an easy rest day, no gym, no fam time, no obligations. I decided to fire up red dead redemption 2 after breakfast and get lost in the sweet world of being a cowboy for the morning. I've been playing it in first person view, talk about complete immersion. I wasn't overly thirsty, yet still for some dumbass reason in 4 hours sank about 6 pints of water, as well as having two 600ml pots of green tea, 200ml of milk in a protein shake, and 300ml in a blend of apples and blackberries with my breakfast eggs. Little did I know what I was in for.

Around half 10 I all of a sudden feel very nauseous, and spacey. I originally put it down to not eating for 4 hours since breakfast, not a usual feeling of hunger but I did not consider the vast amount of liquid to be the cause. My vision then started to get blurry, I don't need glasses but I couldn't see right from distance, then up close. It felt like I was wearing soaking wet socks and gloves, despite being sockless and gloveless. Then it clicked. I have ingested a shit ton of liquid. A quick Google confirmed I should not have done that and symptoms matched mild to moderate water intoxication. I started to panic internally. I had completely saturated my bodies sodium and electrolyte levels. I then proceeded to lick half a teaspoon of table salt off my hand, and eat a bag of salted tortilla chips to try and balance it out, while sitting trying not to panic any further.

It was hell. I should have went to the hospital immediately, but I felt very weak. I genuinely thought I was going to die for the first hour or two of onset of symptoms. I had all symptoms of water intoxication, and as well all know googling symptoms does not help calm situations like that. I did try lying down but it made it worse and made me feel delirious. After hour two I felt a bit better, not fully out of the woods but chanced a walk, however when I returned home it started happening again in waves. I proceeded to walk again but this time in the direction of the nearest hospital as I was genuinely not sure how it was going to go. Close by my place there was a pharmacy was open, I went in and explained the situation, and they said since 4 hours had passed and symptoms were improving that a hospital visit wasn't exactly necessary now. I had a light headache still, but that was most likely from the salt intake, and not having liquid since.

I've been resting and sipping lucozade sport since for electrolytes, had salmon and a banana too, but good god. Never doing that again in a hurry. I feel much better now but very fatigued/wiped. A warning to yall thirsty folk out there.

TL;DR ingested a ton of liquid quickly, could have died. Awful way to spent a Sunday.

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...
