TIFU by taking what I thought was my roommate's supplement before the gym and walking around bricked up for hours

It's 6am freezing outside, barely slept and I already skipped the gym twice this week so I'm forcing myself to go. Walk into the kitchen to grab my pre and realize I finished it and forgot to reorder. Fckn awesome. My roommate has this pouch on the counter that looks exactly like a Momentous pack. Clean white packaging just says fast acting, natural ingredients, the usual supplement buzzwords. I grab two tablets and chew them on the drive over on an empty stomach. Whatever let's go. First 20 minutes normal started squat sets and I start getting warm flushed, heart thumping harder, skin tingling. I'm there thinking okay this pre hits different I kinda like it ngl. Then it happens full situation in basketball shorts on a wednesday at planet fitness surrounded by old people doing morning cardio and it is NOT going away.

Soo i spent the next 2 hours doing the most creative workout of my life. Half assing abs just to stay seated. Hoodie held in front of me like a shield at the water fountain. Made eye contact with a woman on the hip abductor machine and genuinely considered moving cities. Get home like yo your pre is insane what is that. He goes what pre. I point to the pouch. Fucker starts laughing so hard he can't breathe and tells me it's called Boost by Don. Not pre-workout. Shit you take before you hook up. The packaging looks like literally any gym supplement. Fooled the fuck out of me. Keep that in your bedroom not next to the protein powder.

AND if anyone at Maple Ave Planet Fitness saw a guy in black basketball shorts having a crisis at 6:30am Wednesday that was me. I'm sorry I didn't choose this.

TL;DR: Took two tablets from my roommate's supplement pouch thinking it was pre-workout. It was a sex supplement. Spent 2 hours at Planet Fitness bricked up in basketball shorts surrounded by senior citizens.

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...
