My parents gave me an $100 gift card in 2024 from our bank (but it’s a Visa gift card). I have a wallet that just had gift cards in it but I’ve not been wearing my super big purses so I haven’t had it actually in my purse for at least a year. I’ve been going through and decluttering my wardrobe and I got to purses today. I saw the gift card wallet and wondered what was in there and found the gift card still in its holder from when I got it. It said that it had to be registered online so I did that and found out that there’s a $5 inactivity fee for each month after 12 months of not using it so now the card only has $30 of the original $100 on it. So I’ve now wasted $70 of my parents money that either my bank or VISA has reaped without actually buying anything. I didn’t even think inactivity fees were a thing anymore but apparently they are. TLDR: didn’t know inactivity fees on gift cards were still a thing. Lost $70 of an $100 gift card because of it.

There's a coffee shop I used to frequent that I really liked going to until I made things awkward by asking out the same girl twice. What happened was I was a regular there and this other girl was a regular there as well. So I figured we had similar interests, so I asked her out, to which she politely declined. Then life goes by, I get busy traveling, and I come back and decide to go back to the coffee shop. But this time the girl is looking me as if she's interested because I displayed interest. She looks familiar but for some reason I cannot for the life of me remember where I know her from. So I walk up to her, ask her if we know each other. She frowns immediately and says I asked her out once. Now I'm an asshole and I can't go back to my favorite coffee shop because whenever I see her things are awkward and she is super pissed off. tl;dr Approached the same girl twice hitting on her and didn't remember her from the first time, now things are awkward betw...

I feel absolutely awful and am a huge hypocrite for this. My aunt and cousin say I'm not at fault, but I'm not convinced of that. I live with my aunt, cousin and sister in a gated apartment complex. In this apartment complex live a lot of families with young kids in school and retired couples, so there arent a lot of dogs there. I've only seem two other dogs, one I've seen in passing when walking Max(my aunts dog) and the other is Rosy whom we know very well and are friends with her owner. We've lived there for 3 years and have only seen these dogs out during the day. Its around 12:30 at night and I need to get something from my sisters car, so I let Max follow me so I'm not walking out alone at night and so he can pee before bed. This is where I fucked up, I let him go off leash. I didn't think much of it because we've done it before and know that most people are alseep by now and even those who arent know Max and and are happy to let him prance up ...

i hate it when another dentist is trying to educate me when i’m working on a patient. today, i had a patient that told me they haven’t been to the dentist in a while, and that the first dentist they went to wanted to do multiple root canals on his teeth, so he is looking for a second opinion. before i started probing, i briefly looked at their teeth. there is obviously either very bad staining on a buccal pit or it’s a cavity. i just told the patient “i cant say a lot before an xray but by the size of it, it looks like a cavity to me”. this other dentist walks through my room to go to the storage (we have sliding glass doors from room to room so you can walk through them without having to walk through the patient lobby). he comes to look at my patient briefly, points at what i’m talking about and says “that’s not a cavity”. i couldn’t say anything because he is my senior, so i just waited for him to leave. in my opinion, these people don’t tell you what’s wrong early, so you can ...

This was Friday and I've been thinking about it ever since. I'm vegan, about two and a half years now, and I do the baking for stuff at work because I'm the only one who bothers. We had a leaving do on Friday and I made two trays of brownies the night before, in my kitchen, at eleven at night after a shift, which turns out to be relevant. I live in a houseshare. Our fridge is a war zone. My block of vegan baking butter and my housemate's dairy one are the same brand, the same gold foil, the same size, and they live on the same shelf in the door. You can probably see where this is going. So I bring them in, I put them out, and because there's another vegan on my team and I wanted her to actually have something she could eat for once, I said it out loud to about fifteen people, "these are vegan, I made them", and she had four of them and told me they were the best thing she'd eaten in ages and asked for the recipe, and I was so pleased with mys...

So I am 20 years old and never actually bought a TV before. I was talking to my parents about rearranging our living room and my mum suggested getting a new sofa. Without thinking i jokingly said "that would be good but if we got that sofa we would need to get a new TV". My mum was confused because our TV is pretty new. I explained we would have to put the TV on the wall to fit the sofa in our living room. My dad said you would just have to buy a TV bracket. I had then realised because i had never actually bought a TV before and played alot of sims 4 i had assumed for most of my life that when you buy a TV you choose between two different types of the same TV. One that includes the TV stand and one that has the ability to go onto the wall. Just like in the sims 4. TL;DR TIFU by playing too much sims 4 and thinking there were two different types of every TV.
