TIFU by not watering my tomatoes and underestimating physics

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ leahnardo ยท 27359 points ยท Posted at 04:48:05 on June 24, 2020 ยท (Permalink)*


This happened about thirty minutes ago. So I've been Covid gardening since March, growing stuff from seeds, and my tomatoes are monsters. Six feet high and still going. Temps have been in the upper 90's, so I need to water them twice a day. I check their condition, note they do need water, then see an actual TOMATO OMG. Since this is the first edible thing I've seen after three months of backbreaking work, I'm understandably excited. I lean forward to examine said first glorious tomato. As I do, my bright red hair swings into eyeball range, and I see a GIANT FUCKING WASP tangled in it. Now, in hindsight it probably was normal-sized, but as it was right in front of my eyeball, I promise you it looked gargantuan.

The wasp is, as you can imagine, not terribly pleased to be trapped in the thickets of my hair. I do not panic, however. I grab the base of that hank of hair and hold it while still leaning forward so the angry little bastard doesn't swing directly into my face. I go into problem-solving mode. The wasp does not wish to be in my hair-I do not wish the wasp to be in my hair. Yet, I sense, cooperation will not be possible. I instead enlist physics as my helper and attempt to fling the little fucker free by cracking my hair like a whip. Alas for my B grade in PH 221--Physics decided it is not my bitch today. I whip the angry little bastard RIGHT DOWN THE CLEAVAGE OF MY TANK TOP.

Small aside: I have more cleavage-related woes than any other two women I know. It is a black hole for bad luck. And on one memorable occasion, sushi from across a crowded restaurant. A TALE FOR LATER.

Having switched directly from "not panicking I can solve this" to "panicking now I HAVE A WASP IN MY BOOBS," I yank the neck of my tank top forward in an attempt to keep the buzzing motherfucker from digging a hole in my fun bags. Luckily, the wasp appeared to watch a lot of fashion television and was instead attacking my tank top. I mean, I get it. No one wants to be flung into leaf green ribbed polyester. It is so last summer.

Having learned absolutely nothing from my previous flirtation with centripetal force, I again attempt to whip the little fucker free. Naturally, it goes directly into my face. I slap it away with my free hand, and it goes back into my cleavage. But fortunately this time it hits my boob at such an angle that it bounces out to freedom!

Still bent forward and holding my tank top's neck at least a foot from me, I crow in victory and straighten up, immediately making awkward eye contact with the three stunned construction workers in my neighbor's back yard. No, I was not wearing a bra. So yeah, I just flashed those poor men with leaning forward middle-aged dangle boobs. Fluttering like pennants in the wind. Not the most flattering angle.

Did I attempt to explain my entirely reasonable circumstances to those baffled people? No, I did not. I just scuttled inside like the fuck-up I am, and now I can never go outside again and my tomatoes still need to be watered. But I pinged that little winged bastard like a backhand at Wimbledon and I did NOT get stung, so not entirely a loss? I dunno.

tl;dr: Monster tomatoes lead to cleavage wasp, and my titty semaphore is not understood by baffled bystanders.

Edit: Wow, I crashed and went to bed after reading a few very nice comments that made my night, and woke up to a very full inbox. Thank you! Also, yes I snuck out after dark to water the tomatoes, they are going to be fine! I watered them again this morning. There are no construction people over at my neighbor's yet, but they appear to be building a fence, so I'm going back inside before they come back and continue with that.

Actually there are wasps that sting and lay eggs inside worms that attack tomato plants. The wasp eggs attach to the worm, when they hatch they eat the worm and become more wasps.

If you look around in sure you'll find tomato worms with what looks like little grains of rice attached.

Tomato worms and wasps are two of the scariest things I ever encountered as a child. My parents had a huge garden and every year, theyโ€™d make us kids pick off the tomato worms. I want to raise tomatoes now too, but I am not looking forward to dealing with those monsters! And Iโ€™m allergic to wasps.

Also, fun fact, wasps are how we get figs. It's pretty metal, but a fig wasp has to die for a fig flower to be properly pollinated. Then the wasp dies and is broken down by enzymes in the fig. The inedible hermaphroditic flowers serve as a cozy home for wasp babies to mature, and both the fig tree and the wasp get to reproduce.

I actually did not know this. It explains why there were always wasps around my grandparents fig trees when I was a kid. I wasn't scared of them as a child, but as a teenager I discovered I'm highly allergic to fire ant and wasp venom. Now I won't go near the little bastards intentionally. They can smell fear, I'm convinced of it. When I was a kid I could pick figs all day long and not get stung. After finding out I was allergic I did my best to not change my behavior and have been stung a couple times just being near them, not doing anything that should enrage them.

Some vegans won't eat figs for that reason. Some do because it's a natural part of it, depends on where they draw the line. It creeps me out, so I don't.

But how to figure out if the figs in products are those figs? Vegans would have to email the manufacturer's, and they'd have to enquire. Your average market trader wouldn't know I think. Very time consuming, easier just to avoid all figs.

Again, it's not that there are dead bits of wasps in the figs, it's that a wasp was needed for the production and died. Vegans do not eat anything from or produced by an animal, e.g honey as well.

glindabunny ยท 4 points ยท Posted at 19:28:03 on June 24, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Fair enough. That would be a pain to research.

I'll stick with common figs (I like fresh figs), since those are self-fertile and aren't pollinated with blastophaga wasps.

Black Mission and Panache Tiger are two fig varieties sold fresh seasonally in US and neither is wasp pollinated. Some fig products do list the fig varieties used. I had some fig jam that specified Black Mission figs.

Goes to show that being a dogmatic vegan is dumb as shit and worse for the environment, they pretend to care about while buying more plastic and shit than people who use leather, than just eating normally (normally doesnt mean 2 pounds of meat every single day)

I don't get it -- this is how the wasps naturally reproduce, right? Or is the principle that humans should not be meddling in any affairs of other animals that might result in negative consequences for the animal?

ultraviolet47 ยท 10 points ยท Posted at 17:19:01 on June 24, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Vegans don't eat anything containing or produced by animals, for various reasons. Wasps have been in the fig and died during it, so...but some are ok with that and others not.

"The little grains of rice" are the cocoons of the wasp larvae. Having grown inside the unfortunate host, the little bastards come up through the skin, spin cocoons that attach vertically to the caterpillar's skin, and pupate.

Yep tomato horn worms. Hate those bastards, they'll destroy a tomato plant in a day or two if left unchecked. I welcome the parasitic wasps that kill them. Birds love to eat them too so when i pick them off the plants i'll set them in a shallow bowl for the birds to feast on.

Oh, yes! That's the tobacco hornworm. They grow into awesome huge moths after cocooning. I found one on a tomato plant as a teen and adopted it as a pet. They are very nasty to gardens and can destroy tomato plants (they eat plants in the tobacco family, which includes tomatoes.) If a gardener finds one with the parasites on it, it is recommended to leave it to infect the other hornworms.

I smooshed the infected ones I found. It was just too hard to watch the wasp larvae literally emerging from the hornworm's skin. I loved my plants, but I'm a softie for cool insects.

Too funny! Waiting for the sushi story

๐ŸŽ™๏ธ leahnardo ยท 4537 points ยท Posted at 06:25:41 on June 24, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Very well. Now first, you have to understand that once upon a time in the range of decades ago, I joined the military. In basic training, I dropped around 35 pounds, and with it, the entirety of my boobs. The Air Force stole my boobs from me, and I would have my vengeance. You see, I was one of the original crop of cosplayers in the early 90's, and it's hard to play a convincing comic book heroine as a six foot flat-chested twig. So, I bought a couple of silicone inserts for costuming purposes. I did not, however, buy a bra to holster said jelly bubbles, which will become relevant in a moment.

I decided I needed to test my artificial sweater kittens in a night on the town with a friend. They put something of a strain on my shirt, leaving an impressive gap of cleavage. I figured this would be fine, so my friend and I set off for town. It should be noted that it rained heavily on our walk, we got soaked, and said jiggle mounds began to squeak as I walked. More on this later.

My friend and I decided on a sushi restaurant in the touristy part of town. This place was middling nice, with a lot of people who had never really dealt with the conundrum that is the chopstick. We sidled up to the sushi bar, and I was both delighted and slightly guilty at how much attention my artificial enhancements were netting me. On the opposite side of the bar, with the chefs in between, sat a pair of gentlemen, also military, who were both very friendly and obvious newbs to the stick-eating arts. Trying to show off, one gentleman tried to raise his tuna roll in salute, when he must have exerted too much pressure on his chopsticks. They crossed, flipping the roll neatly in an arc through the air and SWISH, right into my cleavage.

Raw fish does not have the most pleasant skinfeel, not to mention it was cold, so you can imagine my immediate reaction, hopping up while hunching my shoulders away from the ick. I began desperately trying to fish the fish out.

See, here's where the bra problem comes in. I could at the time generously be called an A-cup, and the inserts made me about a D-cup. It was a Scotty Star Trek kind of situation, WE CANNA HOLD ANY MORE, CAP'N! Shoving my hand down there put too much pressure on the booblet, and it sought the path of least resistance. That little bastard popped straight up and out of my top, plopping wetly against the counter and wobbling like a dead jellyfish.

The sushi flinger was horrified and offered to pay for our dinners. The sushi chefs were incredibly uncomfortable. Me, though. I just tried to grab the cutlet, which had suctioned to the counter and made the most horrific fart-pop noise as it let go. I decided, reasonably and with every blood vessel at maximum volume in my face that we should bow out for the evening. So I left smelling of fish yet not full of fish, asymmetrical and sad.

I'm from Denmark and I know they're available as pets in Sweden, Germany and England too... Not sure about the rest of the world.

Yes and no... I've enjoyed having degus for the past ten years and they're really cute, but they're not the easiest animal to have as pets and I wouldn't just recommend them to everyone.

You need to be strict about their diet (avoid everything with sugar or honey), patient if you want them to enjoy being handled and finding a veterinarian who has any knowledge of these exotic animals can be quite difficult.

But hey, check out what other degu owners says about them and look into whether or not they can be kept as pets in your country, they might be just the right fit for you :)

Your story-telling skills via the written word rival that of Elmore Leonard and Kurt Vonnegut. No, I am not being sarcastic. Reading both of these stories has been the most entertaining 10 minutes of my day, and my day was not particularly boring.

And your writing style is OUTRAGEOUSLY funny. I hope you do it for a living or have at least considered it.

I would watch a sitcom about a six foot tall veteran woman who's a hilarious redhed with an expansive vocabulary and a penchant for awkward encounters.

This is a relatable story. If it had been me there would be no doubt among the construction workers as to why my tits were swaying in the wind because I would be screaming bloody murder.

Like the time I was gardening on my porch and bird decided my (luckily voluminous) hair was a threat to its nest and decided to attack my head.

Or the time I heard a squirrel falling above my head and screamed and then it fell to the ground a foot in front of me and I screamed some more.

Basically the construction workers would be able to infer the issue. I've never been stung so the fear runs deep due to my imagination.

spiegro ยท 76 points ยท Posted at 13:55:53 on June 24, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Hahahaaaa I wish there was something as interesting as OPs story behind it.

I just asked her to remind me of the details so I could tell some internet strangers the story... Here goes:

One summer day my wife was getting in the car to go somewhere, and a wasp was chasing her. She thought it was a bee at this point. So she's not freaking out. She says she swatted at it and ran to the car to get away from it, but it must have landed on the seat.

She sat down and went "ow what was that... OW WHAT THE FUCK!" And ran inside... I was in passenger seat like "ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ guess it must be woman stuff."

She comes back in tears saying she was stung in her vagina... From my memory, I was kind of annoyed tbh, because we had somewhere to be. I asked what happens and she goes "I got fucking stung, speigro, multiple times..." And she cuts herself off...

"In the vagina..." Starts crying harder...

Of course I was a smidge skeptical at first, and asked her if she's sure. We checked the seat and sure enough the little fuckers was there, and twas no bee. It was a wasp. So the little fucker stung her multiple times.

"Why the fuck did it sting me so many times??" Before my friend said, "that's what wasps do.." to no amusement from my wife.

Then her mother runs out (we were at her mom's house) with a frozen filet mignon for her to put on her now swollen, stung vagina...

Apparently it was my friend's steak (he was staying with my mother-in-law), and he goes "guess that's your steak now..." ๐Ÿคฃ

She had to remind me of the steak detail... And she wouldn't let me tell anyone why she was staying home for a while as clothes/underwear were understandably uncomfortable for a few days afterwards.

I hate to break it to you, but wasps can sting through jeans. My one and only wasp sting was the top of my thigh through heavy duty denim. It was impressively painful, and I was hit just once, in arguably the best possible location. Iโ€™m dying thinking about multiple stings to the cooch!!

I was around 10yo. I screamed like a banshee, my friends thought I'd been shot by an air rifle or something. My eye was swollen shut and my mum almost fainted when she saw it. She whipped me up to A&E, where they gave me a tetanus jab. This pissed me off even more, because I hate injections. The pain was really bad initially, like being stabbed, but subsided after around 30-40 minutes.

PSA for everyone in this thread: meat tenderizer powder mixed with a little water deacrivates the venom, rub it on and it'll cut the pain and swelling by a lot. My 3yo got stung by a wasp on his leg and I had that stuff on it within like 30 seconds, and a minute later he stopped crying (wasp sting HURT). And after that it looked no worse than a mosquito bite and was gone the next day.

I was stung on the finger by one of those big red wasps with black wings. They're not really aggressive, but they'll buzz you if you get too close to the nest.

So I was harvesting Japanese eggplants by holding one hand underneath, cutting the stems, and letting them fall. Then I felt a sharp pain in one finger. I dropped the eggplant into the plastic bag and a wasp was crawling around in there. I left the bag on the ground, washed my hands, and took Benadryl. It swelled just a little around the sting, then went back down after the antihistamine took effect.

I felt bad for the wasp. She was resting underneath the eggplant, which I'd actually seen them do before. There she was, minding her own business, when I come along and smash her with a huge purple fruit into my hand. No wonder she stung me. After putting the wasp out of its misery I carried on making dinner.

It was a bit too tryhard (no offense OP, just not my style). If it was written like TL;DR it would have been easier.

Sometimes when people write like this it is perceived as not genuine. Because theyre adding stuff to make you feel a certain way, but it's not real content of the story, just flair.

Just my opinion, I'm not mad and hopefully nobody is mad at me about this

Because it's not actually "good" writing. Good writing is detailed and precise while also engaging. While writing is one of the freest forms of expression, there definitely are rules that competent writers must abide by if they want to write competently. Obviously this is just a subreddit to post funny fuckups and OP was just trying to be funny, not showing off her writing chops, but it really irks when I see posts like this with comments saying "wow!

Or, and this is key, I could have gone to bed at an alarmingly late hour for me and woken up to this storm. But you're correct in that I did enjoy writing both! Writing for fun is how I get my joy, and right after this happened I texted friends to share the horrified mirth, and they told me to hammer it out and post it here, the home of schadenfreude. So I did! While the stories themselves are, alas, both true, they are of course much more dramatic in the telling, because that is what writer's do. They lean in for the laugh.

I understand this and I tend to exaggerate stories myself. What I mean is something that is hard to pinpoint but I ser so many posts written in the same style. "The 'fury of a thousand suns'-style", as someone here called it. I guess it's just that Reddit likes that style and so it tends to do well here, but it's just interesting to me that it's such a specific style.

Again, it's hard for me to pinpoint any specifics but it's like reading different Stephen King stories. They obviously are their own stories but you clearly know it's the same author. That's not what I'm insinuating here but I get the same feeling.

I imagine this sub to be the equivalent of telling your friends โ€œyou would not believe what just happened to me!!โ€ Itโ€™s lame if you lie and people wonโ€™t enjoy your stories if they can sense youโ€™re making up everything. But sometimes itโ€™s fun to occasionally exaggerate or ham it up a bit for the sake of exciting storytelling.

So I feel kind of split about this. Sometimes the little exaggerations and word play are very funny and I know I like to do them too. But on the other hand, I agree with you. Too many of them and so many of the same type of play on words makes this sub feel a bit like a channel that just runs somewhat decent sitcoms.

I could definitely see someone saying it tongue-in-cheek, but this post was definitely written in the usual reddit TIFU "my jolly throbbing meat hook", "my floppy inflamed bags of joy", "my now-utterly-destroyed flesh rocket" style, and mixing in "fun bags" with the other purple prose looks like the author wrote it thinking it's just on the same level of humor and metaphor as "my boobs"-- this is someone who's thought the phrase "fun bags" about boobs before and slipped it in equivalently. This reads like a teenage boy's contribution to TIFU literature, is what I mean.

Oh hunny do I have a story for you.

I was out at the barn doing things in the hot barn and decided to take off my shirt and throw it on the trailer to work in my old, ratty see thru tank top for awhile.

Get ready to leave, grab the shirt and throw it onto the truck seat next to me. Head through town and realize I need to stop at our pharmacy which is on the corner of main and market street in town. Park on the side of the road, almost get out in my translucent tank top, which would have been MUCHO embarrassing so I grab my shirt and throw it on quick. I step out side of my truck and notice traffic is stopped both ways - weird - then immediately notice the HUGE FUCKING SPIDER ON MY SHOULDER OF MY SHIRT.

Normal people would swat it away. In my panic, I wretch the sleeve of my shirt away from my face and quickly take it off and proceed to beat it against the side of my truck. My heart is beating so fast I can hear sirens.

Until I realize the sirens are real because the fire trucks are leaving from the fire house the next block over, I am standing there shirtless beating said missing shirt on the side of my truck while traffic is stopped in all directions due to the fire truck.

I couldnโ€™t leave because traffic had my truck blocked so I had to inspect and re-put on my shirt and walk into the pharmacy like I wasnโ€™t late picking up my psych meds.

She might not be watering deeply enough, to be fair. If she's only getting water a couple inches down, it'd dry out quickly.

OP, you want to give the roots a deep soaking when you water. Are they in raised beds, containers, or what? either way, you prolly want to be watering them at dusk as well, it'll give the water more time to soak deeper before it starts evaporating. Been growing tomatoes in raised beds in Dallas for about ten years, learned all sorts of tricks, feel free to message me if you want some help.

Fun fact: if you top your tomato plant(cut the main stem off like a haircut) at about 3 levels of outward stems you will produce more larger tomatoes that rippen faster and more evenly and have a more manageable plant. https://homeguides.sfgate.com/cut-off-tomato-plant-tops-35718.html

Pro tipp for growing tomatoes: you should remove the sprouts that grow from the axels of the leaves on the main sprout. That will make the plant stronger and the fruits bigger. Also you most likely won't have to water them twice a day because the plant now only has to support one strong main sprout. :o)

Do you remember what the wasp looked like? If it was on your tomatoes it may have been a parasitic wasp looking for bad bugs. Have you seen any large green worms with a red "hook" on their tail? If so they are tomatoe hook worms and will eat your plant. If you see any with what looks like rice coming out of their back congratulations you got parasitic wasps and they will help defend your garden from soft bodied bad bugs.

Maybe it was just me but the way the story was written I did not feel as though a woman actually wrote it. Especially when it got down to some points of the story like describing her beasts as fun bags.

Not that woman can't describe their beasts as fun bags but to me, that felt much more like something either a 12-year-old boy or a very immature man would write and this is coming from a dude who's been around a lot of immaturities.

I mean the OP uses the phrase semaphore. If that is what they decided to use to describe their wasp dance you would probably expect something more than fun bags when describing their breasts. The way the story was written it just struck me as odd.

Just as an fyi, if you reduce watering to once a week while the plants are small, you will encourage deeper root growth. Watering twice a day is wild.

Cleavage really can be a black hole.

In high school, I once lost a ring. No idea how, I never took it off when I wasn't home and it wasn't loose on my finger, I just happened to notice at the end of the day that it was missing and I panicked and tore apart my whole house looking for it.

My friend - who was not really busty - called me later that night to tell me she found my ring. It fell out of her bra when she went to change for the night. I only saw her at lunch that day and somehow, without either of us noticing, it must have fallen off my finger and down her shirt. It was not a tiny ring by any means. I have no idea how in the world things lined up for it to just fall off my finger and end up in her bra with neither of us realizing for hours (I didn't notice the ring was gone until I got home).

I still think someone was fucking with me, though she is not the type to do that and any of my other friends would have owned up the next day. It's the one true unexplained mystery in my life.

Wasps are terrifying and you acted with more composure than I would have.

Boobs are a trap. (Source: have a pair and they have their own gravitational pull for unwanted stuff and/or people)

Don't let your tomato plant grow too much, vertically speaking, or you'll get less tomatoes and smaller ones too. If the plant uses all its energy to grow more leaves and branches in vertical, won't put it where you want it to, namely: tomatoes.
It obviously depends on the species of tomato and a lot of other factors, but this is my experience.

you didnโ€™t even get stung! Thatโ€™s so awesome! A wasp got into my trouser leg once, stabbed me right in the ankle. I thought I was dying!

P.S...love the way you wrote this!

Having read bith your TIFU's, all I can say is thank you for being a breath of fresh SFW air. This sub normally resembles the letters page of an adult magazine. It's nice to have a non sexual FU. Well, as no sexual as boobs can be. Good stories. :-))

This is by far the most entertaining post Iโ€™ve ready in quite a while, and Iโ€™m on plenty of NSFW subs.

This reads like fiction to me, not the content but the way itโ€™s written. When I tell a story about something that happened to me I donโ€™t include all of these unnecessary details. It would be like โ€œI was attacked by a wasp while gardening todayโ€ and leave it at that.

I did move on, I posted my comment and never would have thought of it again if you hadnโ€™t responded lol. It bothers me when people try to pass of fantastic stories like this as real events for some reason.

Dude Take the tomato cages off and let those things be vines on the ground. They will.produce better fruit.

Lies! All lies. Tomatoes are vines. Its not natural to grow them upright. The fruit will get too heavy and break off the stems anyway. Source: am a farmer.

I thought that banana was growing out of your tomato plant!

Congrats on the tomato! And not getting stung! I attempted to grow some salsa themed veggies a few years ago, but got tired of having nothing to show for it. So I gave it up. I stick to succulents now. I rarely water them and theyโ€™ve been alive for 4 years. Plus, no wasps.

Awesome story, seriously. And a good one to visualize. God I hate wasps.

Also, I think your camera is screwed, been playing with a laser or something ? Because of the lines in the pictures

So yeah, I just flashed those poor men with leaning forward middle-aged dangle boobs.

I laughed so hard at this! And if it makes you feel better, those are my favorite kind of boobs.

I understand that everyone is a bit of a pervert (eg the medical staff I've experienced), but that doesn't mean that you can act like a giant creep without any shame.

Gatemaster2000 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:08:39 on June 24, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

I doubt it would be a joke and I would be the sensitive one, if you hit on me/asked me on a date and I would let you to kiss me and only after that i would tell you that I'm a transsexual. Then that situation wouldn't be a joke to you. Because that's a nightmare for men like you.

MikeHock_is_GONE ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:15:54 on June 24, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

I don't care about transexuals, LGBT, or any of that to treat anyone different than anyone else in any way, I'm not some figurative archetype "conservative" boogieman badguy you've cooked up in your mind. Besides, a kiss is a kiss. I'd let you let me, and I'd tell you my username is a lie and you'd hurry out of the room when you realize I'm hung like a horse and you can't handle it.

Gatemaster2000 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 14:21:52 on June 24, 2020 ยท (Permalink)

Well great then! But it normally isn't about me being unable to handle it, but men feeling emasculated even though I'm really tiny...
