TIFU by calling a principal “princess”

i’m a prospective teacher, and i’m working on finding a school that’s hiring right now since i was recently hired by a school district. i’ve been emailing principals and following up with a phone call to inquire more about the job openings and hopefully stir up some interest. well, today i called a school i’m hopeful about when my cat started meowing at the sound of my voice. one of my nicknames for her is “princess” and when i was on the phone i slipped up and said “may i please speak to PRINCESS [lastname]?” instead of principal. felt like i was going to fucking die and quickly tried to remedy the slip of the tongue but i could hear the receptionist laughing quietly on the other line. turns out the principal was in a meeting and she never called me back. i might be too mortified to call again tomorrow. tl;dr - called about a teaching position and accidentally referred to the principal as princess. didn’t get a callback from said principal.

TIFU by misreading my Aunt's supportive message

Well, today I won the award for the most embarrassing family miscommunication of the year. Here's the lowdown on my spectacular group chat fail. This morning, I was barely awake and scrolling through our bustling family group chat. My cousin had just announced her second pregnancy, and everyone was chiming in with their well-wishes. In my sleepy haze, I completely misread a message from my Aunt. I could've sworn she commented, "Another one? Seriously?" In my groggy state, I felt the need to defend my cousin's honor and fired off a passionate message scolding everyone for not being supportive enough and going on about the importance of family love. Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong. My Aunt's actual message? "Another one? That's seriously wonderful!" The realization hit me like a ton of bricks as my mistake became painfully clear, especially when the confused and amused replies started rolling in. I had no choice but to apologize ...

TIFU by wanting to be a good friend

The actual FU happened about last year, but I’m facing the consequences of it now. Last year, one of my friends was starting the process of separating from his now ex wife. He told me that she would be taking the car, thus leaving him without a car. He was my friend for 10+ years, so I of course said yes when he asked if I could co-sign for him to get a car. After all the paperwork was done I had told him that if he ever needed any help with a payment to let me know, not only to save my credit if it were ever in jeopardy, but as a bro too. Fast forward to three months ago where I started getting letters in the mail from unpaid toll tickets and calls from the bank saying that he was two months behind on payments. I reached out to him asking what was up with the toll tickets and the missed payments. He told me that he was out of work for about two months, hence why he was behind on payments. He eventually blocked me after constantly asking him if he’d payed off the tickets and the due ...

TIFU by going to a concert

Sorry if formatting is weird I don't do these often Okay so you need a little context for this. I (18F) went to a concert with my friend (18X) (my friends is non-binary but afab so no one throws a fit thinking I was out with a dude). This concert was more they have a guest and they play music from a certain genre. This concert was just emo music. I have a bf (18M) we have been together almost 2 years. And we live together (I am at my parents house currently). This concert was a last decision like me and my bestie decided to go a day before it happened (it's a 18+ event). My bf did know I was going to this concert. (I don't ask approval to go to these things but he appreciates that I tell him) I showed my bf my outfit and he said he liked it. So we went and it was fun. I got on stage and had a great time. I sent my bf videos and pictures and he didn't reply which isn't a big deal. Just assumed he was on games. This morning I woke up to text him again. He hasn'...

TIFU By asking an innocent question

My friend's and I were at our go to Billiards Dive Bar. We are feeling great, got some drinks, had a good time. I am feeling tipsy and good. We decide to leave to go to their home. As we are leaving, a gentleman walks in wearing what could be described as a Childs Cowboy Halloween costume. Think "Woody" from Toy Story but a grown man wearing the outfit. My friend says "omg you look so cute in that!" and I follow up with "What was the occasion?". He responds "It was for my Childs school Auction for funds for the school" and I very excitedly asked "Oh nice were you someone that got auction?!" My heart then drops in my stomach and my eyes widen, realizing, I just asked a Black man if he got Auctioned off. I immediately said "I DID NOT MEAN IT LIKE THAT". Luckily, He was laughing, and that put me at ease. TLDR: TIFU by asking a black man if he got auction off.

TIFU By trying sex talk while not mentally there…

Gonna go ahead and tag it as NSFW, but this just happened. And I mean, within 30-40 minutes of me typing it. Could be longer, but as of now I feel comfy saying that’s the timeframe. But to the story. I’ve(23m) a friend from high school(23f), and we’ve hooked up before. But that was our senior year, and it’s been quite some time. We’ve kept in touch, and I’ve always flirted with her. Well, started talking today and went over there for a ‘movie’. I won’t lie, it was a great time, our kinks matched up in good and one bad way (let’s just say birth control would’ve been great to have), but overall a great time. Now onto more side info. (This info is super important to the fuck up). I’ve recently been diagnosed with epilepsy, and as a result, have been prescribed anti-seizure meds. Didn’t notice much of a difference, but now I won’t have periods where I feel like I need to stretch, and then all of a sudden wake up. And with my epilepsy, I suffer temporal lobe seizures. I have sustained awa...

TIFU by taking laxatives before going out to eat

This was today and I am still thanking god I did not shit myself during this experience. So I’ve recently had some constipation issues and was trying to clear things up down there so Ive been taking some laxatives to fix this. Recently, a family friend came to town and was taking us to spots around the city to eat. Now I knew that we would be going out to eat, but I still didn’t know when or how it would happen so I thought I was in the clear. So, around 3pm I took a set of laxatives and just hung out till dinner time. Everything seems fine till the family friend announced we weee going to a food court. This was the absolute WORST information I could have been told when I was prepared to stay in and not worry about finding a bathroom. Thankfully, I had time to prepare myself and tried to clear out anything down there in a bathroom run. After a short drive we got to the place and it was absolutely packed, meaning that finding a bathroom or getting to one would be pretty hard. Already ...
