TIFU by accidentally cat calling my neighbor

TIFU by not listening to my gut

God this is silly.

My little sister and I were supposed to return to campus today. i mean we ALWAYS come back together. for safety and other things. so for context our uni does this traditional thing, i won't specify for anonymity but its pretty wholesome. its kinda spontaneous too, as in you only hear about it the day of. and my sister is a freshman so she has never experienced it before but I've told her how it was last year in detail. so basically she has been looking forward to it all year.( yeah only happens at the end of the year)

so when she told me she isn't coming today i kinda got mad and for me it was sort of a rebellious moment of like "am not her shepherd, i won't stay home again just cause she doesn't wanna go". but my gut feeling was- and i mean sickeningly insistent on nagging her so i asked a couple of times. she refused which made my ego even more involved. she even asked if she can join me in drinking some fancy latté at some cafe right before i went and i said no. but maybe i could have convinced her when she came to go with me.

well anyway the thing happened today and i guess it didn't circulate as well as it did last year because no one heard about it until it was happening. anyway i feel sick to my stomach. she already takes FOMO much harder than most people do and i even called her in the middle so that she could virtually join in but i think it might have made things worse- i mean GOD the look on her face..

i have never been ballsy enough to ignore a gut feeling because imagine the regret if something dangerous happens but this sucks wayy more..

TL;DR: my sister was looking forward to a spontaneous annual university event. it happened today and she missed it because she stayed home and i ignored my gut feeling to drag her along.

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 ...
