TIFU by responding to the "what are we" question with "we are Charlie Kirk."

I (26F) have recently started to get closer to a colleague, who I will give the fake name of Josh. Josh(26M) and I don't work together, but we work in the same field and run into one another frequently. We started to get lunch together more often and would schedule group activities with other mutual friends. Around the time Josh and I started to get really close, I had just ended things with my long term partner following us failing to make our relationship work after he betrayed my trust a few months earlier. All of this is to say, I was not ready for a new relationship. I made this very clear to Josh after we drunkenly kissed one night.

We continued to get closer and our friendship turned physical. We both very clearly had feelings for one another, but I still did not yet want to jump into a new relationship. I told him I needed some time to be by myself, but also admitted I didn't want to see anyone else at the moment. He told me he wasn't seeing anyone else either. I told him I wouldn't mind if he wanted to see other people while I take my time to sort my feelings out. We end on agreeing that this wasn't "exclusive" but both of us noted that we didn't really want to see anyone else.

A week or so passes.

We're making out, things are about to escalate, but there's an awkward tension. He pulls away and asks "what are we?"

I am admittedly a little bit under the influence.

I panic because I really like this guy and can see us eventually being together, but also, I feel like we just had this conversation a week ago.

I blurt out, in song "we are Charlie Kirk."

He looks at me like I'm the dumbest person he's ever met in his life.

We went back to making out.

TL;DR: I was making out with a man I'm kind of crazy for. He stops to have a relationship defining conversation and I feel it's premature, but I'm too stoned and stupid to respond correctly and it leads to me responding with a meme.

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...
