TIFU by opening my mouth

My (40M) girlfriend (36F) asked for one specific thing for mother's day. A ring from Pandora engraved with her daughter's hand writing. So this morning I took her 5 year old to the mall to get this done while mom got a pedicure.

I tried repeatedly to get her daughter to write her name in the small space but she's 5... letter sizing and spacing ain't her forte. So we pivoted and she wrote "I ❤️you mom" it took the whole space but somehow she could pull that off but not her name.

So, we picked up my girlfriend and her daughter wanted to give her the ring early. My girlfriend opened the box and just the tone in her voice told me she was mad that it wasn't exactly what she wanted and she started acting angry and pissy. I know she's had some bad mother's days and I'm broke but trying to make it work, spent $110 of my last $190 dollars to get this done. This was the best I could pull off and thought this would be good... so I swallowed my anger about her not being grateful because I was trying to be understanding.

That is, until we grabbed food. We dropped her daughter with grandma and went to eat. While eating she could tell I was upset and asked me why I was upset... then my anger took over and I said "I'm a bit angry because you acted like an ungrateful bitch"... Yay for me.

Now I'm sitting in silence while she acts like everything is okay because she said, and I quote, "don't fuckin talk to me".

TL;DR got gf a ring she didn't appreciate, said she acted like an ungrateful bitch.

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...
