I think i felt more embarrassed with myself today than I ever have in my entire life. I just started working as a substitute teacher and miraculously got a long term sub job at a high school to teach my favorite subject. It is very difficult as i have only been substitute teaching for a few weeks but this is a really good opportunity to show off and make a good impression to eventually get a full time job. Well, usually I bring a big lunch but I was in a rush this morning and grabbed a cup Ramen to make in the microwave at work. I am so tired and sleep deprived from this job(and plain old stupid with adhd), that i put the Ramen straight in the microwave and set it for 3 minutes. No water. Then I left to take care of something. I came back and yellow nasty plastic smelling smoke was coming out of the microwave. I opened it, and acrid smoke came FLOODING out of the microwave and filled the entire staff room in moments. It is a miracle the fire alarm didn't go off. The ENTIRE seco...

I’m a roll-off garbage truck driver. The transfer station at my yard only handles cardboard, but people hide garbage underneath it. The station separates the garbage and puts it into a 40-yard bin. The place has a massive rat problem. I actually hate dumping even cardboard there because there are rats running everywhere. And these aren’t little rats, they’re fucking huge. I rarely ever dump that 40-yard bin. Today, the guy loaded it onto my truck, I tarped it and headed to another transfer station. On the highway, I look in my mirror and see the two cars behind me swerving all over the road. Then I realize rats are jumping out of my bin and onto the highway. It was literally a scene straight out of a fucking movie. Rats flying out of the bin, cars swerving everywhere, and me sitting there wondering what the hell I had just unleashed. I get to the other transfer station and now I have to open the doors. I was fucking pissing myself. I smack the doors open and sprint back to ...

To give some context to the title, My partner gave birth to our son about five months ago and has put on some weight during the pregnancy. Completely normal and she still looks fantastic. Last weekend we were out in the city for my sister’s birthday and she tells me (proudly) she has lost weight and is now down to about 76 Kg. However I saw her on the scale a week prior and I knew for a fact that was impossible. Because when I last saw her weigh herself it was around 88 Kg. And I would know of she’d lose 12 Kg in the span of a week because that would just be unnaturally healthy. So I told her “you’re off by 10 right?”. She seemed genuinely surprised. She was certain she had lost the weight because she went on the scale that morning. (She was also feeling great about it and herself). But I decided to rain on her parade and tell her she was probably wrong and it would have been almost impossible for her to lose that much weight in a week. We drank and ate like usual.. didn’t run an...

For context years ago I had a friend where we were good together but the moment she introduced me into her circle of friends things became a mess, whenever one of them had a problem with me wheather it was my child like behavior (Teenage years) or autism behavior, they would complain to my friend and then she would tell me I am the problem and should change or else i would grow up to be alone. I tried talking to her about the bullying and how I didnt like it but again she tells me I should just live with it because I deserved it. after a big outburst on my end i thought It was best to cut ties with her and the group and be happy, over the years I told myself that I made a mistake and i should not have cut ties with her beating myself up and all that noise, a mutual friend told me she wont mind if i messaged her again and so I did. when we talked nothing about her has changed she still talks to me telling me rude things and passing it off as her wisdom, when the mutual and I got in a ...

This happened yesterday, and I'm still annoyed with myself. For context, I'm around a average to intermediate level in tennis and regularly play in my complex. I've seen this overweight uncle in his late 50s at my apartment complex. I've seen him play a couple of times. He's not particularly fast, doesn't hit huge serves, and looks more like someone you can move around a bit and snag easy points. 2 weeks ago I showed up with a brand new Ezone 100. Like any idiot with new gear, I was proudly showing it off. He asked to hit a few balls with it, took a couple swings, and he really enjoyed it and mentioned he plans to get one soon too.Then he handed it back and we went about our day. Somehow we ended up making a challenge match with a side bet attached a week later. Feeling confident and probably a little arrogant, I agreed that if I lost, he could keep the racket. He just smiled. He also knew I'd been talking about getting a pair of Asics Solution Speed FF4...

I was coming home carrying groceries when a guy was standing outside my building saying his fob wasn't working. Normally I don't let random people in, but while we were talking Milo, one of the dogs in the building, came through the lobby with his dog walker. The guy immediately went "hey Milo" and Milo got super excited and walked right up to him. The dog walker clearly didn't know the guy either, but she didn't seem concerned, so between that and Milo recognizing him I figured he had to live there or at least belong there somehow. That was enough proof for my stupid brain apparently. I held the door open for him and went upstairs. Maybe 20 minutes later I hear yelling in the hallway, then someone knocking on doors asking if anybody had let a guy inside. Turns out he actually used to live in the building, which is why he knew Milo. What I didn't know was that his ex still lives here and he specifically wasn't supposed to have access anymore. ...
