TIFU by not doing edible research

TIFU by not doing edible research

Turned 21 not too long ago. Weed is legal in my current state, and I haven't had anything since what a family member let me have a few years ago on a singular occasion. That was a nice, though mostly sleep-filled, experience.

About me: 5'2", 140lbs, visibly very small woman. This is important.

Went to a smoke shop near where I had dinner on my 21st. Guy who was working the counter looked like a guy that definitely knew a thing or two. I told him this:

"This is essentially my first time getting high. I turned 21 today." I then motioned to myself-- small. I know size matters for drinking, so I figured the same here, too. "What do you think I should have?"

This guy points out two little bags. He tells me the number of grams he usually has (not revealing just yet for storytelling purposes), recommends me a considerably small number in comparison. The bags are said number, and they have two good sounding flavors! Baja Blast and Mango, yippee!

I skip home with my husband. Husband has no interest in partaking, but doesn't mind if I take them at all. I wait until I'm off work for the week to take one.

TIFU by ingesting 420 grams of weed in a single edible, for what was essentially my first time trying it. (The guy said he usually had 1000.) Did not look up how much I should be having.

Unfortunately, I remember most of the night... somehow. I popped it, and I guess my husband didn't see. We were watching YouTube and eating McDonald's. It was a great night.

I got giggly, then I got incredibly self conscious. That turned into anxiety, which turned into me half laughing, half sobbing. Husband is clearly worried but is hiding it for my sake.

The next part I remember is losing a lot of my vision. My mouth was very dry, too, but I didn't want to drink water. I was struggling to swallow. I was also not very good at breathing. Warned my husband in my altered panic that he should call 911 if I stop breathing. I'm very helpful, yes. I got upset at myself at some point, don't remember what for. I do remember my husband having to hold my arms down so I'd quit punching myself in the head.

I remember throwing up. My husband held my hair for me. I started to forget he was there. I could no longer see the TV 8 feet away from us-- anything not directly in front of me was so blurry it was all just about three muddy colors. I was very worried at that point that I was going to stop breathing. Then I forgot why it was important I do not stop breathing. I didn't stop-- just forgot why it mattered.

Then there was this guy sitting next to me. He was holding me close to him, petting my hair and murmuring that I was safe and everything was fine. I had absolutely no freaking idea who this dude was, and would forget about him being there unless I was looking at his face. I could not form words except for "Aw, fuck" and "Fuck dog, I want to die" (normal statements of mine, though a bit vulgar).

That guy? Yeah, that was my husband. Totally forgot who he was. I've known him for eight years. I did remember I had a cat. I did not want to see the cat. He would be disappointed in me. I had already hit myself and did not want to hit him. (I am not violent.)

He asked if I wanted to go to bed. Bed? I didn't know what that was. He tried to get me to stand. I don't remember the existence of anything unless I'm looking at it. This does, in fact, include my legs. I am unable to walk. I am able to push myself across the couch. In that moment, the strongest people in the world feared me. You could have convinced me I was pushing an actual mountain. I no longer remember I have a cat. Making eye contact hurts so that random guy is also no longer there, since I can't look at his face.

Fell asleep on him at some point after that. Woke up later, sober enough to stagger upstairs and go to bed. Woke up and had a very serious discussion led by the husband about the importance of researching how much of a substance I should consume PRIOR to consuming it. Do not make my mistake.

TL;DR: Tried a 420g edible as my first one, did not research how much I should actually consume, had the worst green out hopefully of my entire life, punched myself in the head, forgot who my husband I've known for 8 years was. 0/10 I have learned my lesson.

EDIT: yup y'all were right it's MG. I forgot I still have the mango pack this thing is giving me flashbacks lmao

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
