Reply to TIFU by eating a Happy Meal by PatientWillow4

37 m here, I was working away from home with a gang of lads that liked to drink heavy after work. I'd had my fair share of late nights with them and was particularly bored of ale at this point.

One night we go for the obligatory hickory smoke House meal and I thought fk it I'm having a salted caramel milkshake instead of a pint. I really enjoyed that milkshake but got some funny looks from the guys. Sometimes you just have a hankering for them things from your childhood. Nothing wrong in enjoying them again. Also balls to them that judge us for it.

Reply to TIFU by writing joke answers on a test that was followed up by an interview. by acharismaticjeweller

Honestly, your story is hilarious and you should just laugh about yourself. Own it, tell it to other people - its not cribge, its relatable.

You have my deep respect. When someone seriously would ask me to describe myself with a movie title and then wonder about my question - it would be hard to not say that a dumb question requires dumb answers. Instead you were topping it.

This story sounds more like you made fun out of the interviewers and the whole process than embarassing yourself.

Yeah, I came across the sub r/ageregression a while back and some of the posts there legit kinda freaked me out.

No hate towards anyone in that sub or anything (I fully support them having a community and being happy), I just worry for myself how I could slide into something possibly unhealthy in my search for peace and comfort (e.g. weed and shopping for me).

I say that as someone who actually only just got into comics at ~30.

No fuckup - don't let your inner kid die, like excitement and enjoyment of little things. Don't let people dictate what you must enjoy, just because they decided that they was "too old" for something and restricting their happiness themselves or with the help of other "grown-ups". Like a prion or virus it will grow and copy the lockdown of wonder and we must stand up for ourselves and the right to live the life we love! Go on and be a PhD that doesn't hate your life at 40, you have the bigger end of the stick!

Reply to comment by [deleted] in TIFU by telling my bf’s embarrassing story to his friend by [deleted]

If I could offer a suggestion, go apologize to him if you can, and ask him if you can reach out to his friend together, and insist its very private and he didn't want it shared, and regrets doing so. Im sure if the friends a good guy, he'll understand, and that might help patch things up. Otherwise, just try to be there. I think his reaction is a bit extreme, but he has his reasons, so don't try to diminish them too much. End of the day, you'll just have to wait and see what he says and does. Mistakes happen, and i hope he forgives you.
