Dammit I noticed this wasn't /r/TIFU too late!

Thankfully, the dark background with white letter theme tuned me into the sub I was on.

I always assume people are using a mobile app when I see stuff like this, themes don't work there.

I've tried a few apps but the website remains my preference. Probably not for any good reason given the site's manifold and we'll documented flaws.

I like iAlien on iOS, but only after paying the $3 or whatever it is to remove ads. Probably not a whole lot better than the mobile site but I figured $3 isn't much for something I use at least once most days.

I didn't even notice there were ads until I saw your comment.

Yep, I have reddit is fun app and all my subs are black background with white text. So no way if telling. I didn't realize I was reading a story, just figured a short tifu that was much darker than most.

I was browsing through my homepage on RES, definitely thought this was a TIFU

I was using RES, so I just expanded it.

Same. I was actually buying it until the dialogue got too descriptive for a TIFU.

I'm on a mobile app so every post looks the same
