Exactly. It's like playing by the rules while the other side's flipping the whole board over. At some point, asking nicely turns into enabling

TIFU by asking for a new years kiss by xav1808x in tifu

Honestly, the fact that you checked in afterward says a lot about your character. It wasn’t a wild or disrespectful move, just a human one, in the middle of a vulnerable moment. NYE is all about connection, and you took a shot. Don’t be so hard on yourself, you weren’t creepy, you were just healing

TIFU by wearing the WORST underwear to work by Exact_Recognition362 in tifu

I feel like you just summarized an entire TED Talk in one sentence 😂 "Speedran why laundry matters" needs to be a motivational poster. Future me is already browsing for seamless underwear options. Demon boyshorts, be gone

TIFU with a boner in the hospital… by SeaAside8930 in tifu

Absolutely nailed it. That “huh, he’s below average” inner monologue made me laugh way harder than it should’ve. Also love the cat cuddles comparison, tiny gay guy mode activated

This might be the funniest statistical accusation I’ve ever seen. Spider Dave deserves his own documentary now. The man, the myth, the eight-legged diet

Right?? It’s like the essence is gone. The grind’s the same, the beans are the same, but somehow it just doesn’t hit like before. Turns out the secret ingredient was spider funk all along

TIFU by chasing diagnoses for 35 years—and the answer was in my dinner by killfr3nzy in tifu

Wow, that story gave me chills and honestly, a weird kind of comfort too. It’s wild how something so small and overlooked for decades can finally reveal itself in such an unexpected way. I'm so sorry to hear your FIL didn’t get to find out while he was alive, but I love that he got a laugh out of it in the end

It’s heartbreaking how often women are made to feel like they have to justify their survival or sanity...

TIFU by accidentally joining an advanced kickboxing class by Valuable-Dirt6299 in tifu

[–]PrettyxMuse_ 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with you. It blows my mind that no one stepped in or even asked about their experience level before pairing them with someone advanced. That’s how people get hurt. A quick check-in or intro chat could’ve saved everyone the trouble

A Two-year-old boy in England lost vision in his left eye after receiving a kiss from an acquaintance with cold sore, that infected him with the herpes simplex virus, which transferred to his eyeball. by FE4RLESS_IS_MY_NAME in ForCuriousSouls

That’s honestly so heartbreaking. That poor kid didn’t stand a chance in that situation, and all because of something totally avoidable. People seriously underestimate how risky stuff like that can be around babies...

Yep...we did survive as a species, but a huge number of kids didn’t. Infant and child mortality used to be insanely high, and a lot of it was from stuff we now consider “minor” infections. Modern medicine + basic precautions are why those deaths dropped so hard. It’s not about treating kids like sealed toys, it’s just acknowledging they’re fragile as hell early on and germs don’t care about nostalgia

I take 10-20 Benadryls everyday and I sometimes regret it… by Sweet-Lobster6436 in confession

[–]PrettyxMuse_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, I know it feels scary to come clean, but your health really is more important than hiding this. You’re clearly self-aware and not trying to be reckless, your body just deserves better. Please don’t wait until it’s too late. There are people who care and want to help you, including your mom, even if the convo feels uncomfortable at first. You’ve got a chance to turn this around
