TIFU By accepting a house sitting gig

l live in New England and I am house-sitting. Maybe pet sitting is a better description. Either way, I'm supposed to basically live at this house for two weeks. A handful of adorable cats and dogs. Easy money! Except... The light was on upstairs after I came back from the store. I did not turn it on. I am certain I did not turn it on. It was not on when I slept last night. I have not gone to that floor more than once because the cats don't go there, there are no litter boxes to scoop, and there are no open doors the cats could get into. I thought maybe it had been on the whole time, but then the light was turned off when I checked later on today. They didn't say anyone would be staying with me. If someone else was here, why would they need a sitter? I checked the rooms but found no one. Nothing else has really indicated another person is here. No food missing, no cooking. Some noises like someone walking around or like plumbing is running somewhere, but it's an old...

TIFU by dying my bathtub blue/purple

I’m going to a concert soon and I wanna dye my hair black for that. I used a semi permanent dye from Arctic fox and I assumed that it wouldn’t dye the bathtub? Idk. Because it’s semi-permanent, it comes out when water touches it and I’m on a swim team so I can only wear it for one day (the day of the concert) So I decided to put it on yesterday and wash it out today to see how much it would wash out. But my brain wasn’t working and I washed my hair in the WHITE Bathtub, and now there’s streaks of blue and purple in it. I’m currently very desperate to find ways to get rid of the dye because if we were to re-tile/Re-do the bathtub that would cost $3000 and I am not going to pay that. If you have any advice I will take it, thank you! TLDR: used a semi permanent black dye and stained the bathtub blue and purple. If you have any advice, I will take it. Please and thank you!

TIFU Most embarrassing travel moment

When I went to go visit Boston, I made the mistake of downing a couple tall beers right before my duckboat tour.. Shortly after leaving.. it began, the urge to pee. I thought I'd be fine at first and was too embarrassed to ask to stop and be an inconvenience to people, plus I didn't think and still don't know if the bus would even stop for that. I was able to hold it most of the way.. until we hit water, and then it was game over. I ended up pissing my pants shortly after we became a boat and was surrounded by liquid😂😂. I couldnt hold it no more and had no other choice!! Somehow the guy sitting next to me never found out until it was all over. I got lucky I was hydrated too and mostly clear because it did not stink like raunchy dehydrated urine. 🤣also Luckily I sat in the back so most of everyone got off until it was my turn.. and I ran. So effin hilarous😂 and embarrassing haha What is your most embarrassing travel story? TL;DR: pissed pants in duckboat after drinking ...

TIFU by letting my girlfriend take a “funny” picture of me and having her friends accidentally see it

This happened about a month ago. I posted this in a couple of other subreddits just venting, but figured it would make a good TIFU post. This is one of those moments that hits you straight in the gut and makes you cringe for years. A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I were hanging out after I got out of the shower. It was freezing in the apartment, and I made a comment about how cold I was. She glanced down, laughed, and said, “Wow… that's crazy. I can’t believe how small it can get!” I looked too, and yeah, it honestly did look ridiculous. I'm not the biggest down there anyways, but most of all I'm a grower. If you don't know what that looks like in extreme cases, just imagine an acorn sitting on top of your balls, barely over an inch (sorry to be graphic, but you need to know how embarrassing this looked). After laughing a bit at the situation, she asked if she could take a picture. We both have secret photo vault apps where we keep each other’s nudes, so I was fi...

TIFU and watched a cartoon with a song in it that I can't get out of my head.

Well, today I was just minding my own business...flipped over to YouTube, clicked on a cartoon that was suggested in my feed. I started watching...and then it happened. The song began....I started tapping my foot to the beat, the next thing I knew I was rewinding to hear it again. It's still there...in my head. I am humming it right now. I thought to myslef...how do I get this song out of my head. But, the next thing I knew, I was watching the cartoon again, to hear the song that is plaguing me. It makes me happy, and sad at the same time. "Bye, Bye, Bobby...Bye, Bye, Bobby...Bye, Bye," I started to think who is this Bobby...and why did he have to go, "Bye, Bye." Is it Robert Kennedy, Bobby Brown...was it Bob Barker leaving The Wheel of Fortune? What is going on...I am literally in another land now...it's happening...I have become the song! https://youtu.be/0cE3q9DMivw?si=z2uYpzhdxNvGdjvY "TL;DR" I have learned that if I had to do it all ...

TIFU by trying to socialize at work and accidentally summoning the spirit of awkward small talk

So I’ve been working at this job for a few months, and up until now I’ve been perfectly content existing as a mysterious desk goblin. I eat lunch at my desk, wear my headphones like social armor, and smile at people in the hallway like I’m in a hostage situation. But today I thought, “No more! I’m gonna be social. I’m gonna be Normal and Chill and Likeable™.” Huge mistake. There were a few coworkers chatting by the coffee machine, laughing about their weekend plans. I summoned all my courage and walked over, ready to casually slide into the convo like a cool girl in a rom-com. Instead, I said: “Nice weather we’re having, huh?” Why did I sound like someone’s uncle making small talk at a funeral? They all kind of paused. One person smiled politely and said, “Yeah, finally some sun,” and that’s when my brain panicked and decided to go FULL ROBOT. I followed up with: “Perfect temperature for human skin.” Human skin. Not people . Not us . HUMAN. SKIN. Silence. Someone coughed. I ...
