TIFU so i accidentally got banned from my own gym because i thought a woman was dying

so i think i accidentally got banned from my own gym because i thought some girl was literally dying and now theres a video of me floating around locally getting called gym batman

i go to this cheap 24hr gym in florida mostly college kids and divorced dudes trying to get abs back. i usually go late at night because nobody talks to me. last week im on the treadmill and this woman a few machines over starts looking REALLY bad. gasping stumbling holding her chest the whole thing. then she suddenly drops to her knees.

everybody just froze.

my uncle died from a heart attack in front of me years ago so my brain instantly went oh shit not again. i ran over asking if she could breathe and grabbed her shoulders because she was wheezing and couldnt really talk. i yelled for someone to call 911 and suddenly theres a huge scene.

then she starts screaming GET OFF ME and crying.

turns out she wasnt dying. she was filming some dumb fitness influencer challenge where you push yourself until you collapse dramatically at the end. apparently i ruined the video.

then her boyfriend comes over recording ME saying im some creep touching women at the gym. im standing there sweaty as hell trying to explain i thought she was literally having a heart attack.

staff pulls me aside and says regardless of intent i shouldnt have touched her without consent. meanwhile shes crying saying i made her feel unsafe because i “put hands on her body”.

i honestly thought once people realized why i reacted everyone would calm down. nope.

next morning i get an email saying my membership was terminated pending investigation.

worst part is they uploaded the video anyway because the boyfriend caught half of it on his phone. comments are roasting me calling me gym batman and captain save a hoe. my sister thinks its the funniest thing thats ever happened to me. my mom said i did the right thing. honestly now im wondering if i shouldve just minded my own business and let her finish pretending to die for tiktok.

TL;DR: thought a woman at my gym was dying, tried to help her, accidentally ruined her influencer video and got banned from the gym for touching her

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...
