TIFU by letting one slip and laughing

TIFU by trying to get my cats attention and now I have to move

So I live in a duplex and my next door neighbour is also my landlord. Older dude, Best landlord I’ve ever had, I’ve lived here for almost 4 years and he’s never raised the rent and anytime I’ve ever needed something fixed that I couldn’t do myself he’s on it.

I have a cat that I let outside into an enclosed catio. There is a little spot where she likes to go sleep and I can’t always see her because only the door part is wire, the rest has siding. So I was trying to get her attention by calling her name out the window. Out this window not only can I see my yard but also my landlords. But anyways I’m calling her name and saying “oh look at you you’re so sweet and cute” and “I love you so much” When I see movement out of the corner of my eye. MY LANDLORD WAS OUTSIDE SITTING IN A CHAIR WITH HIS SHIRT OFF SUNTANNING. ALSO MY CATS NAME??? It’s BABY. I am MORTIFIED. I just wanted to talk to my cat and lowkey harassed? Hit on???? my landlord so now I have to move because I can never show my face again (kidding… kinda) And like I did not say any gender specific things while talking to her. So yeah. 😭 he walked inside fastish but I was in full panic mode I ran outside and grabbed her even though she didn’t want in and closed all my windows.

TL;DR: was telling my cat named baby how sweet and cute she was when my landlord was shirtless outside and now I have to move from sheer mortification.

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...
