TIFU by asking my girlfriend her ring size

TIFU by making my entire health class think I have an STI

Hello Reddit, today I (17f) screwed my high school social life forever. I am currently in a state required gym class that also comes with a state required sex ed portion (yay…). We were on the subject of STI’s and I made the mistake of jokingly asking my teacher if eye gonorrhea could be caught by touching the infected area. It wasn’t entirely joking as I was genuinely curious as to if STI’s which are out in the open like cold sores and stuff can be passed onto other people by touch. I was sadly under the impression that a classroom full of high school mean girls would respect my curiosity… but I was wrong… when i was asking my question, everyone in the back of the classroom (I was near the teacher in the front) began hooting and hollering with “ooohs” and “aaahs” as if they’d just heard something downright disgusting. this was after I said “eye gonorrhea”. I naively believed that this was because the idea of gonorrhea in your eye is a genuinely disturbing occurrence that most people aren’t aware of… I know know that my classmates probably heard “I have gonorrhea” instead of “eye gonorrhea”. 

I am deeply ashamed. But it doesn’t end there, I wish it did. After class ended, a pretty notorious mean girl, who bullied me quite a bit in freshman year, came up to me and asked if I was okay. Note that this girl is very much NOT a girl’s girl, she is very well known in my circles as someone who uses passive bullying and off handed remarks to insult people. She still picks on me from time to time as I am your stereotypical ‘art kid’, I really don’t like her. Anyway, we’ll call her MG for ‘mean girl’. Now MG walks up to me with a weird smile on her face and asks me if I’m okay. For some reason I get the impression that she’s referring to my mental well being and I respond “Oh, I researched that for a recent project we did” (referring to the eye gonorrhea, because wtf) but she shrugs it off and MG reiterates “Do you have an STI” I was taken aback “No” I say, aloud and aghast, “I just asked (teacher’s name) if stuff like eye gonorrhea could be passed to other people by touch” I guess MG didn’t hear the eye gonorrhea part because her face shrivels up in disgust as she tells me that EVERYONE in the back of the classroom misheard me and they now think I have an STI. 

But that’s not it, MG’s friend who sat beside her (we’ll call her SG for short girl because she’s shorter than MG) goes up to me after MG leaves. She just puts it bluntly and asks “Do you have an STI?” In this weird voice where I couldn’t tell if she actually cared, (but now that I think about it, if she was genuinely worried that I had some kind of disease like that, she’d probably be more discrete or not ask me about it at all) but at this point I’m embarrassed and pissed so I loudly make my next mistake which is yelling “WHAT THE F\_\_\_? NO!!!! WHY DOES EVERYBODY THINK I HAVE AN STI??? WHAT THE F\_\_\_!?!?!?!” This was very loud… I am even more terrified that those who didn’t even hear my question to the teacher now wonder if I actually DO have an STI. (Luckily I don’t). SG didn’t say anything after my yelling, she just quickly walked out of the classroom. If you’re wondering, my teacher didn’t interject or say anything (despite being right there), but granted, this is on me. 

Later Today I actually told my dad (who ended up in a laughing fit) and my brother (who just kept saying “ew” over and over again) Both weren’t very supportive. My brother told me that I’m going to be bullied for the rest of that class, and I unfortunately might be. I ended up consulting a few of my friends and they suggested that I don’t give MG what she wants (a reaction, which might be too late), or that I clap back with something like “Yeah, I got this STI from your mom” or “Why are you asking? Do you need support?”. I just genuinely don’t want anything to do with this chick and I also don’t think I can switch out of this gym class. I think I’m screwed, my name as the ‘eye gonorrhea STI girl’ will go down in history…

TL;DR: I ask an embarrassing question about eye gonorrhea in health class, classmates mistakingly hear it as “I have gonorrhea” and I’m doomed to be bullied for the rest of my life now :’(. Next time, I’m just going to google it.

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 ...
