TIFU by texting a guy who doesn't like me

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 almost so bad by not unlogging from this Reddit account

I use this Reddit account to mod r/hearhimfuck , watch my porn and answer NSFWAMA when I feel like it. I religiously log off completely after every time because I don't want my partner or anyone knowing about this account. It's the holidays and we are all busy so I had a quick session with myself and ran to get a shower and leave for another family Christmas dinner. My phone stayed in my purse the whole evening. By the end there's 6 of us left and we're sitting in the living room, having mellow conversation. Pets are discussed and photos shown. Someone asks about my dogs so I go fetch my phone and sit back on the couch. As soon as I unlock it, there's a full blown ANAL clip playing. Fortunately, the sound was off. I manage to turn the sound all the way down and shut the app without anyone seeing. TLDR; Iwas THIS close from having hardcore porn blasting surrounded by my parents, my partner, an aunt and a two cousins. I can't imagine the aftermath of what could...

TIFU by jackin' it in the shower

Out of town at a hotel for a conference, high speed Internet and mobile phone in hand, step into the dry shower at the end of a long day at work downstairs. Using the provided lube (conditioner), my work was done in short order. I then turned on the shower to warm up and went back into the main room to put down my phone. Here's the fuck up- we all know, or should, that the best way to clean a protein-rich, goopy substance, does not involve hot water. In fact, hot water just leaves the slippery proteins while washing away the water soluble parts. Forgetting this, I boldly stride into the glass-walled shower only to nearly break my damn legs and neck as I slid in from one side to the other on what felt like warm ice, barely catching myself on the shower grip handles. Now my foot hurts. TL;DR: masturbated in shower and slipped on my own hot load, nearly hurting myself very badly.

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 ...
