TIFU by letting one slip and laughing

TIFU by letting one slip and laughing

I had Mexican for lunch. It was fucking delicious, but the onions and spice really started a storm brewing in my gut.

I take the bus home from work every day. Lately, the city I live in has been replacing a lot of their buses with these hybrid or electric models, which are not only environmentally friendly but posteriorally hostile since the seats in these models are all made of HARD plastic. More sanitary, I guess. Easier to clean. Oh, and the engine doesn't make noise when the bus is stopped.

Ten minutes into the ride home from work, I feel a little bubble in my gut. No biggie, I think, and I angle sideways slightly to let it slide out.

The bus was at a red light. The plastic seat betrayed me.

Hand to god, I have NEVER ripped a louder fart in my LIFE. Like, cheeks flapping BRRT, I heard it through noise-cancelling headphones playing music. I'm positive even the driver had to have heard it while I was sitting in the back of the bus.

"Oh, that's not so bad," you must be thinking. "If it was crowded, all you had to do was just act nonchalant and no one would know it was you." No, I have the sense of humor of a seven year old boy. And the sheer impact of the noise made me do one of those really stupid laughs, the one where you press your lips together and your WHOLE body starts shaking. Like, I held in so much laughter I turned red and teared up. I didn't look at anyone on the bus out of sheer shame, just stared at my phone screen and tried not to die.

I guess of all the things that could have followed farting on the bus, I should be grateful things didn't go worse.

TL;DR: farted on the bus and started laughing. Everyone knew I did it.

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...
