TIFU. I posted wrong on r/mildlyinfuriating.

TIFU by hooking up with a straight guy

Obligatory didn't happen today but 2 months ago.

I (30M) am a closeted gay guy. I have been meeting with this discreet guy who to this day claims he's straight for casual fun.

We started talking on a random "fake" Instagram I had that didn't have my name and since we both live in a small country, I told him I was visiting for work occasionally.

We met a few times and it was good fun each time so we decided to continue seeing each other.

However, one day he asked if he could come over in an hour. I texted my sister, who I live with and who doesn't know I'm gay, to check when she would be back and she said she was going shopping to get a birthday present for her boyfriend. Knowing her, I assumed it would take some time so I texted the guy to come over.

Just as we were putting our clothes on, I heard a doorbell and I just knew it was my sister.

To make matters worse, doors to my room do not shut entirely and landlord never had the key to my room so they just kinda stand at a 45-degree angle. The room is right next to my sister's room and the bathroom.

I told this massive, 6'5 bodybuilder to hide behind the door (in English cause he still didn't know I was a local). It was really like a scene in a comedy.

I opened the door to my sister's questions about why it took me so long and giving her some lame ass excuses in our own language because it would be super strange if I started talking in English with her.

She went to the kitchen first to leave some grocery bags on the kitchen table and proceeded to her room. I followed her there too and she was like "Why the hell are you following me around the house?" and thinking quickly I said "Oh, just wanted to see what you got for your boyfriend".

She was ranting about all the stuff she got for him and I wasn't listening. I was just preparing myself for an awkward conversation with the dude still hidden behind the other door.

I ended the conversation by saying "You go ahead and get some rest" and shut the door to her room and then bolted to my room to find the guy's jaw dropped to the floor.

He was whispering "Wtf, you are from here? You are crazy, you didn't tell me" blah blah and I just told him to shut up and leave.

He kept whispering through the hall and when he was out of the apartment said "we'll talk about this" enraged.

Crisis averted.

Needless to say, within minutes I received a flurry of his texts questioning everything.

TL;DR: Hooked up with a straight guy, pretending I was a foreigner. Sister almost walked in on us and he found out I was a local.

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...
