I (m20) have a crush on my lab partner Tracy (f19). Her and I were recently studying for our finals together, while we were hitting the books she suggested we listen to music together. She asked me what kind of music I liked, and I remembered her wearing a Slipknot shirt to class a few days ago. I had been meaning to check them out in order to create a conversation piece for us to bond over, however I never got the chance as i’ve been busy studying. Anyway, I suggested we listen to some Slipknot while we study and she kind of laughed at me for a second. I was puzzled and she explained “Slipknot isn’t rlly the best music to listen to when you’re trying to focus, but i’d love to anyway!”. This kind of confused me because I had never listened to them before, I didn’t know what to expect, she seems like a sweet and mellow girl, So once I heard the violent screams of the music, I began to panic. Little known fact about me, when I get nervous my stomach starts to hurt (this comes in later). As we’re listening to this horrifying, guttural music, she mentions she’s surprised that I’m a Slipknot fan, at this point, so was I. Then, she asks me the question I’ve been dreading through this entire encounter, “What’s your favorite song by them?”. I could feel my heart drop into the now queasy pits of my stomach. I drew a blank and just answered “I really like all of them”. I thought I may have gotten away with this once she responded by saying “Oh yeah they’re all so good, my favorite is Blood Bath”. I wouldn’t put it past them to have a song with that gruesome title, and I wanted her to like me, so I made the mistake of saying “Wow I love that one!”. Instantly, her face dropped, and she snickered at me. I could feel the bile rising in my throat and the saliva coating my mouth. She looked me dead in the eye and said “That’s not a real song by them…I was just trying to find out if you were a real fan…which you obviously aren’t.”, followed by the most aggressive eye roll I’ve ever seen. The combination of the humiliation and the fear of the music sent my stomach over the edge, resulting in me vomiting all over her dorm room. I had just eaten spaghetti and meat balls prior to this, and her sheets were now coated in the worm like half digested noodles, her walls looked like they had been coated in the blood like marinara sauce I had once enjoyed. My face began burning with the flush of hurling out my insides & the blush of humiliation. She looked at me with an appalled look, and I had no idea what to do. I ran out of the room and darted back to my dorm, where I’ve been sitting in my shower regretting my life decisions. I’m sure she’s never going to talk to me ever again and I’m so mortified that I’m considering missing my final tomorrow. I have no idea what to do and i’m beyond embarrassed. Will I ever recover from this???

TL;DR TIFU by lying about listening to a band in order to impress a girl, being caught in my lies, and then proceeding to throw up.
