TIFU by not knowing how to dance

I (M25) recently got a new job in Colombia with the IT firm I work for. It came with a promotion I worked really hard for, so I was excited to make the jump.

For context, I’m a white dude from the Midwest who speaks minimal Spanish.

Luckily I have one college friend who is Colombian and he’s been showing me around. I’ve only been here about a month, and there’s definitely been a lot of culture shock… especially with the nightlife. Back home I was never really someone who went out much, but I figured while I’m here I should push myself and experience it.

This past weekend I went out with my college friend and some of his friends. First thing I noticed: when he said “friends,” there were about 15 people. I was expecting maybe one or two.

But the real surprise was the nightclub.

I had never seen people dance like that before. Everyone was grinding on everyone. I was basically just standing there staring at the dance floor in awe, trying to process what I was seeing.

While I was watching, one of my friend’s friends (a very attractive Colombian girl) came up and asked if I wanted to dance. She turned around and said something in Spanish to her friends, grabbed my hand, and dragged me onto the dance floor.

We started dancing, and then she turned around and started grinding on me to the beat of the music.

After about 45 seconds, my brain basically short-circuited. I panicked, mumbled something like “Uh...one second” and speed-walked straight off the dance floor to the bathroom like my life depended on it.I felt like I was going to cream my shorts.

I stayed in there for about five minutes trying to regain my composure while my friend texted me:

“Bro you ok?”

I told him I might have eaten something and I left the club. Reddit, how bad of a fuck up is this? any idea what she might have said to her friends as she took me to the dance floor?

Edit: I do have everyone's socials from that night. Is it worth me messaging her and explaining myself? Maybe clarify i just ate something off hence me going to the bathroom?

TL;DR - Was dancing with a girl at a club in Colombia when I almost had an accident in my pants and had to leave the club

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...
