TIFU By forgetting my special triangles for my math test

I am in Grade 11 functions class and for the past week or so we've been learning trigonometry ratios from 0 degrees from 360 degrees. Today was our unit 4 test and I even studied last night, feeling confident on today's unit test, I was right, I was confident even while doing the test and I even thought I would get at least a 90...that was until during the next class when I double checked the correct special triangles ratios and numbers that we needed to remember, turns out I remembered it wrong while doing my test. The problem is most of the questions on the test I just did this morning is dependent on the numbers of the special triangles ratios i needed to memorise...other than the numbers that were wrong, I am pretty sure the process I did were correct. For those who doesn't know what does memorizing special triangles ratios mean, its just basically a "formula" we needed to remember in order to calculate the correct trig ratios. I really hope my teacher can ...

TIFU by catching feelings for my friends ex

This actually happened a few days ago, I've just now worked up the gall to post it. Specifically because aitah. Some background, my(21m) friend since elementary school Gary(21m) broke up with his gf Vee(21f) of 3yrs a couple months ago. When he and Vee first got serious, he invited her into our friend group. We all get along pretty well whether we hangout irl or in calls while gaming. They broke up about 3 months ago. Unexpected to us all because we thought they were perfect high school sweet hearts. Since they broke up Vee and I have been getting closer as our schedules just happen to align when we're both online. From a previous post, I already know I'm an asshole for thinking about dating her and that we should just stay friends. I'm here to get the fuck up off my chest. A week ago Vee asked me if I could help her pick out some stuff for her PC. I thought she was looking to upgrade some parts, but apparently she only wanted a new monitor. The day we met up at b...

TIFU by mixing up Cisco and Sisqo

TL;DR I thought a coworker going to Cisco Live was going to see Sisqo, live. Not a f*ck-up from today, per se, but still a favorite TIFU story of mine. So this wasn't today, but this is still one of my favorite stories from my tech career. One of my first jobs out of college was at an enterprise tech review platform. I was bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and ready to make my mark in a new industry (after all, I graduated with a degree in Middle Eastern Studies, so what the heck did I know?). My manager was having a conversation with one of my company's sales reps, and she was talking about how excited she was to go to Cisco Live in Germany. Exciting stuff, right? International travel, great people, fun after parties. What else could you ask for at a swanky tech conference? But in my millenial, non-initiated mind, I thought she was telling my manager that she was going to see Sisqo (of "Thong Song" fame) live. Trying to take part in the conversation, I exclaimed "...

TIFU by driving someone else’s ca

This just happened this morning, and I’m low key freaking out. I was at the doctor’s office and some idiot left his car directly behind mine, idling with no one inside. I tried backing out several different ways but there was no way to do it without hitting the car. I waited, growing increasingly frustrated. I got out and went inside, asking the people in the lobby whose car it was and no one answered. By this time I was highly frustrated and, for some unknown reason, checked to see if the door was locked. It wasnt. I don’t know what came over me other than impulsivity and anger, but I got into the car drove it forward about 5 feet (just so I could get past it) and then parked it and got out. As I was getting into my car the owner returned. He could clearly see that his car had been moved and glared at me, I honestly can’t believe I did it. He could’ve shot me, thinking I was stealing his car. I’m in my 50s, and I’m wondering if my mind is starting to slip. TLDR: I got into a stran...

TIFU by accidentally sabotaging my upcoming employment drug screen trying to make sure my home UDS was working

I got a job offer, which I accepted Thursday night, and then I received two emails and a text about a background check and drug screen on Friday afternoon. I was expecting this. The emails and text were mostly duplicates of each other. However, only one email said that the drug screen had to be conducted within 72 hours after starting the background check, and that the labs are open M-F, 8-11am, walk-in only. I'm glad I caught this because if I had started the background check promptly Friday afternoon when I received it, I would only have had Monday morning. And I would rather not have risked that in case something comes up. I have vaped marijuana on and off, but it had been over a month since the last time I vaped. I did a home urine drug screen Friday just to be sure and it was negative. I over-worry about things, so I actually did another UDS from a different brand on Saturday. The first was a THC only test, and the second was a 20 panel one. That one was negative too. Howeve...
