TIFU by making a Penis on whiteboard at work

TIFU by asking for the number of a trainee

So to keep it vague for privacy reasons, I'll say that I (F,30s) work with a company that goes to different locations and trains people within a program. The people we train can only take the course once. I've done this job for a year now and I've never seen a past trainee again, even though we go to the same locations. **Also Im a worker in the program, I'm not a lead or authoritative role.

So a few weeks ago, there was a trainee (M,30s) who was cute and was giving me signs: touching my arm several times, heavy eye contact, going out of the way to thank me for small things. Didn't do that with others. My coworkers were like "hes cute, ask him out!" I was weary at first. Lowkey shy, I never ask guys out. I thought if he asked me for my number, id give it. At the end of training he touched my arm again. But since the training was over and we were leaving, I thought fuck it. I asked him for his number (he confirmed he was single). And after he gave it, our nice-to-meet-you handshake lingered.

Later, I texted him so he'd have my #.....He answers 2 days later. We exchanged maybe 6 texts between us, each one taking him days to respond. At one point he doesn't ask a question to cont. the convo and I thought about letting it rock. But I responded and he asked when am I usually free. I tell him... and then I never hear from him again.

Which is fine, I just ended something with someone I really really liked, so I was just looking for a rebound. Have some fun. So after a week of not hearing from him, I blocked him and deleted his number. I thought that would be the end of it.

Except I saw him today. I had training. He was walking with his coworker. I'm in front of him but we all 3 end up taking the elevator down together. I dont look at him, he dont look at me....until I get off the elevator. Then I hear him whisper to his coworker to hold on, as in stop walking. Then I hear him whisper to her and shes like uh huh and then he whispers and she said that's her and laughs and says sorry thats funny.

So yea they were talking bout me.

Yall, I never see trainees after training. Wtf is this haha 🙄 Im feeling embarrassed bc i NEVER ask out guys. Yeah that's not happening again lol I'm more mad at myself for not saying something to him, especially when I was laughed at. Im not mad at him, I just dont need to feel childish bc Im going to be working at that location again and dont need it to be weird if I see him.

TL;DR: I fucked up by shooting my shot with a "one-time-only" trainee, getting ghosted, and then running into him at work...

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...
