TIFU by macing my boyfriend

This didn't actually happen today but it might as well have since it gets brought up so often. When me and my boyfriend first started dating i was staying at his apartment a lot. Like staying days at a time and only going home on weekends if that.

Well there was a time period of about 2 months where we started pranking each other. Nothing crazy just some harmless pranks that were so miniscule I can't even remember most of them. (Think changing the tv channel or putting an ice cube down their shirt) but there was one prank that started this whole thing. I was in the shower and he poured ice cold freezing water with ice cubes all over me. The bathroom was set up so that if someone moves sneakily you really wouldn't see them until it was too late so I was caught 100% off guard. A few minutes after when I warmed up again it was hilarious so I thought it was my time to get him back.

So using my logic I thought to myself, what would be the best prank ever, and I came up with the solution, "I'm gonna make him sneeze" and how do you make someone sneeze, according to all the shows I've seen in my childhood, just use blackpepper. So thats the first mistake.

He was sitting at his desktop and I went to the kitchen and poured the entire remaining bottle of blackpepper into my hand and went to go stand by him. Because in my logic, more blackpper= more sneeze. I called his name a few times and when he looked over at me I blew the entire thing into his face. He immediately fell to the ground screaming. At first I thought he was laughing so I was laughing too. But to my absolute horror when I actually looked at him there were tears pouring out and snot and screaming and I realized he was definitely not laughing.

I quickly grabbed some water in a glass and threw it in his face then grabbed some milk and threw it in his face and that calmed him down enough for me to grab him and shove him in the shower and turned on the water and forcefully opened his eyes under the shower.

I spent the next week apologizing and waiting on him hand and foot and he definitely took advantage lol but I'm surprised I had a boyfriend after that. His eyes were swollen, burned and bloodshot for 2 weeks after that. Apparently blackpepper is one of the main ingredients for pepper spray and mace smh. And he didn't even sneeze.

TL;DR Using cartoon logic I tried to make my boyfriend sneeze using blackpepper and broke the blood vessels in his eyes for 2 weeks.

Yesterday my girlfriend(19f) and I(21m) were spending the day together as we’re both off school for Easter. We had a super fun day planned with a hike, food, exploring, etc.

Now we’ve only been dating for a month and a half, so I really wanted this to go perfectly, and honestly - it was. The hike was beautiful, she really seemed to enjoy being out in nature together. Food was great, conversation flowed, silences were comfortable. Typical for our relationship but we’d never spent this long together and it was working out great.

Well, until the drive back home. I’m a (very) amateur music producer, and after we listened to a podcast, I decided that this would be a great time to ask if she’d listened to my music before (she knows my artist name). She sort of hesitated a bit but said she’s heard part of a song. Now right after I asked the question I kinda felt the mood deflate. However, undeterred, I queued up my song and… yeah.

We only got through the first verse and chorus before I had to switch it off. I apologized for suggesting it and made a joke about how douchey/self-absorbed I felt for playing it. She assured me that it sounded good, but the change in mood and vibes told me something was still off.

I’m still not entirely sure why the mood dropped so much. As mentioned above I felt like a complete douche the second I suggested it. Doesn’t help at all that my music is pretty bad and not in a genre she listens to.

Anyway, we finished the drive mostly in silence, and said our goodbyes. Saw her today and everything was back to normal which is a huge relief, but I still cringe about what happened on the drive.

TLDR: Played my music for my gf and ruined the vibe of our car ride in the process.

Edit: People have been requesting it so the song was Past Self by Recursiv. Sorry mods

Edit 2: I’m removing the YouTube comments that mention this post, sorry - I don’t want my gf to know I made a post about it lol

This actually happened last night but it was after 12 so technically it was today lol. anyway i (18F) invited a guy over (23M) that i've been talking to lately. he's in a frat and we met at one of the huge ragers they throw. well he's been asking to chill for a while and i kept pushing it off, but last night i was bored and it was saturday night so i said fuck it and told him to come over. what i failed to realize is my sorority is really strict about having male guests over. i knew it wasn't allowed but i didn't think they really enforced it, especially given that i paid for this dorm in advance and it's my living space.

Fast forward into the night one thing led to another and we started having fun together. i won't get into the details, but things got very loud. Loud enough to where i guess one of the girls snitched on me? i really have no clue how this happened but the managers on campus came knocking on my door at midnight to ask what's going on. he was laying on the bed hidden under the blankets while i kept the door half closed. they kept looking inside while asking me who i had over. i told them no one i was just watching a loud movie and i'll turn it down.

I guess i didn't come off believable because the girl literally barged into my room then saw him in my bed. this made my lowkey upset because you can't just randomly search my room. at that point i knew i was fucked so she told him to leave and had a chat with me afterwards. long story short she told me to pack my things and leave by the morning. right now i'm staying at a friend's apartment closeby and i have 0 clue where i'm gonna be staying for the rest of the semester.

TL;DR: I got caught having someone over in my dorm room and now i'm kicked out until the rest of the semester.
