TIFU by accidentally cat calling my neighbor

I live in the upper unit of a duplex that’s on a hill. So my front door looks out one direction, their front door looks the other way and about 1/3 of their house is underground because of the hill. I have a nice little side porch which happens to be over their side door/patio where they store their trash and recycling bins.

Keep in mind that from the porch, I cannot see their patio unless I am deliberately looking down over that part of the porch.

I have a cat, a perfect baby angel, who is indoor/outdoor. He will chill on the porch so I periodically check if he wants to come in or if he’s just vibing. It is important to note that I really really love my cat.

So anyways today I opened the door to check on him. It’s a beautiful day, warm but not boiling, sun is shining and a lovely breeze. My cat is relaxing in a position best deserved as shavasana (belly up, big stretch - getting the tummy sunshine he needs to charge). I open the door and say (slightly above normal speaking volume) “oh you’re so handsome. I’mma touch that lil tum tum.”

I approach my cat - ready for belly rubs, when movement in my peripheral vision stops me. It is the neighbor on his patio, looking at me with mild concern. I apologized and explained it was meant for my cat. No major consequences beyond extreme embarrassment.

So TL;DR I quite literally cat called my neighbor by talking to my cat

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 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 by asking guy (28F) I (26 F) have been on 5 dates with where we stand.

So, I (25F) have been on five dates with this guy (28M). We were supposed to meet on Friday, but he said he might not be able to or would have to meet quite late, which frustrated me because we only see each other once a week, and we hadn’t met the previous week. Frustrated, I told him, "I think I’m done. It was nice hanging out with you, but I can’t deal with this scheduling issue." He later got back to me and said he could actually make it at our originally agreed time. We went on the date, had a great time, and the next day he texted saying he enjoyed seeing me again. I responded that I did too but also mentioned that the scheduling issue was frustrating. He agreed, and I asked if he wanted to see me again. That’s when he said he’s not sure what he wants in life right now. The thing is, I’m also unsure about what I want in life at the moment. Looking back, I don’t know why I asked such a big question when I’m still figuring things out myself. Everything feels uncertain ...
