TIFU rejected a girl because she got her periods

​

TIFU

9th grade, friend group of 4. me, my friend, and a pair of twins. we never really studied, just bullshitted in class all day and somehow became really tight because of it. used to sit in pairs too, me and my friend on one bench, the twins either right in front or behind us.

both twins confessed to both of us on the same day btw.

anyway. lunch break. my friend and the other twin had gone off somewhere, so it was just me and her alone in the classroom. totally normal conversation and then out of nowhere she goes "(my name) i like u a lot like a lot lot"

i went blank. completely blank. i had never seen her that way and my brain just didn't know what to do with that information. so i got up and walked out. didn't say anything. she was telling me to wait but i didn't.

and the thing is, when i got outside, i wasn't even thinking about her or how badly i'd just handled that. my brain randomly jumped to this thing that happened a few years before that.

It was my uncle's place. his daughter, maybe 14-15, absolute menace of a human being, called me to her room to "show me something" and pulled out a used period pad and brought it close to my face. like actually close. and me being me i sniffed it.

i can still smell it if i think about it too long. you know what i mean.

and standing outside that classroom, for some reason THAT is what my brain connected to. and i think somewhere in there i just associated the two. like my brain decided periods = disgusting and that's why i should reject her.

which is insane because she was kinda cute, chubby cute. we had real chemistry. she was my friend. there was no actual reason.

but i never told her any of this. never explained, never apologized, just acted like it didn't happen. we barely even spoke after that.

it's been 4 years. no one's confessed to me since. i liked someone last year, finally told her, she liked me back but was already with someone else.

i rejected a girl because she gets her periods. i'm a dumbass.

TLDR: walked out on a girl who confessed to me because my brain associated women with a traumatic period pad sniffing incident from my cousin, fumbled the only other shot i got too, haven't had a confession since.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

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 ...
