TIFU by getting myself inextricably wedged in a step ladder

I will put a picture in the comments so you understand. Ok 29M and I’ll give you the long-short of it. I was trying to make a friend laugh via FaceTime and I have a bit (I know) where I step into this step ladder and like squeeze it up and wear it as a skirt. It’s stupid, but I am stupid, and it makes her laugh. All right well idk what’s happened the past months with my diet, but once I got the stupid ladder on, I couldn’t get it off. She is dyingggg laughing. And I am freaking out, like no matter how hard I push this step ladder is stuck on my waist. I’m claustrophobic- maybe not as much as the worst guy but it still gets me. So I start crying, saying I can’t get it off, working at it fruitlessly with tools and lotion and… eventually, using my taxpayer dollars, I get the step ladder off my badonk. My friend seems to think it’s the funniest thing ever and she’s told people, like mutual friends, and I’ve already had people texting me about the step ladder incident. I mean I was st...

TIFU by putting my car keys inside an Amazon return locker

I had an Amazon return and stopped at one of those lockers inside a grocery store on my way home. The locker opened, I had my phone in one hand and the box in the other, so I put my keys down inside the compartment for literally two seconds while I scanned everything. Put the box in, closed the door, return confirmed. Then I reached into my pocket for my keys. I just stared at the locker. My car key and apartment key were sitting inside the compartment I had just permanently closed. I asked an employee if they could open it and apparently the store has zero control over the Amazon lockers. Called Amazon and after getting transferred around I was told they couldn't remotely reopen a completed return either. So my keys were now sitting inside a metal box waiting to be collected with a phone case I didn't want anymore. I had to Uber home, get my spare apartment key from my sister, grab my spare car key, Uber back and leave a note with the store in case the Amazon d...

TIFU by calling the gas company to my house for 'a leak'

Obligatory 'this happened a few years ago' when I first moved into my new house, but I just thought about it today and realized how dumb it was. It had been a few months in my new house, I live alone, but my parents come by every so often to help me with some house stuff, painting, gardening, that kind of thing. One day we're working outside and suddenly I notice something odd. A clear smell of what reminds me of methane gas, or some sort of gas. I ask my parents to come over to the side of my house and see if they smell anything. They instantly notice it too. I did recently have some plumbing work done where they had to reroute piping under the house due to roots and old pipes, so I was concerned something could have happened with a gas line. I decide to call the gas company out, and within the hour a guy is in my yard with a gas detecting device. It's not picking anything up, but he also smells gas on one side of my house. We are walking all round it, pinpoint...

TIFU by plastering a permanent male appendage onto my brother’s wall.

I M17, plastered a massive one square meter schlong onto my brothers wall today. For revenge. Last week I woke up from a nice, calming dream and opened my eyes to see an A4 peice of paper taped on my roof that said “Fck you.” directly above my head. there was no reason behind it. When I confronted my brother about it his reasoning was that he was bored. I thought it ended at that, so I got my brother back by putting saran wrap around his door and I made paper chains with little insults written on each loop and I taped that to his roof. He simply laughed and asked if I “found them yet?” I was confused what he meant by that but he wouldn’t say anything else so I left it at that. A few days later. At 12:00 at night, a poster from my wall falls to the ground, and behind the poster is a note tapped to my wall. (Crazy coincidence, it’s like my bedroom purposefully uncovered the note) The note had “tickle my urethra.” Written on it. I then decided to check behind a poster next to it to see ...

TIFU potentially drugged by some women at the airport

(This was a while ago. And doesn’t register in the list of traumas in my life. I see it as funny at this point) I do an NYC trip with some friends. Great time. Im on my way home with a flight out of JFK. I have some time before the flight so I go to the bar near my terminal and end up meeting these girls who have the same flight. They’re super chill. I have one drink and it’s noticeably strong, but still just one cocktail. Cut to, suddenly I’m on the plane. I don’t have several hours of memory. I slowly piece together that I’m not in my correct seat and we’re hours into a flight. I’m sitting by this lady who seems chill and i try to ask questions to piece things together without making myself seem like idk wtf is going on. One of the questions being “this flight is to my ‘intended destination’, yes?” lol. I had gotten one of the girls numbers so I text them asking if they saw me walk on with my luggage. They confirm yes. The craziest part… my pants are wet. I can tell it’s from t...

TIFU by giving the aiport security my residency permit over my passport

So i am an international student in an eurpoean country I am visiting another Eu country to see my cousins. I put my residency permit over my passport with my phone that has the boarding pass to the side. Then the security agent told me something dreadful. My residency permit is not with him I told him I am sure it's with him several times while getting shaken up gradually, untill he told me to take my passport and go search for it elsewhere by then I sank to the floor searching in my bag. For context I am an international student and my school is also 15 days from starting and also I am Iraqi so I will be screwed in the airport. Finally he told me to give him back my passport, he had found it on his desk my heart neatly fell. My mom later called and told me to not panic like this anymore, but how can I. My uni starts in two weeks and frankly I don't have the time nor the patience to get another student residency permit. TL;DR don't give all of your documents at th...
