TIFU by trying to deliver pizza to the wrong house

I just want to start off by saying that I'm an incredibly awkward person. I'm also super passive and try to avoid confrontation at all costs. For example, I was in Walmart once and it was just me and another guy in the same aisle. As this dude passed me, he let out the longest and loudest fart I've ever heard in my life. For some reason I made eye contact with him and said "I'm sorry..." I think I just felt bad for him and was sorry for being there to hear it. Idk I'm just weird okay. I think this story is more funny if you understand the kind of person I am.

Anyway, back to the fuck up. I had a delivery today where the remarks said it was the house at the very top of the hill. As I pulled onto the road, I noticed a sharp incline and saw a house that looked to be at the top of the hill. The front door was wide open and I thought someone was standing in the doorway waving me down. I thought for sure I was at the right place. I did think it was weird when I realized I had to unwrap a chain around their gate to get in, but it happens sometimes so I just proceeded to the front porch. As I walked up the steps, I could hear a man talking, but I couldn't tell exactly what he was saying. The screen door was about 1/3 of the way open and because of the glare on the glass, I couldn't see very well inside. All I could make out was a guy standing and waving. I don't usually like opening a customer's door myself, but I honestly thought the guy was telling me to do it, so I opened it all the way while still standing on the porch. I immediately saw that the guy had on a VR set and was playing a game. I tried to get his attention by saying hello. I started with a normal inside voice, but eventually basically yelled it at him. Dude didn't hear me at all. He kept saying something about cheese, and I thought he might be talking about pizza, so I stayed there for a few more minutes trying to get his attention. He was standing like 5 feet away from me this whole time. I looked back at my receipt and noticed it was a girl's name, and only then did I realize there was a chance I was at the wrong place. Sure enough, when I got back in my car I noticed the road wrapped around the back of the house I was at and there was one more house at the end.

So, this guy has no idea that someone stood 5 feet away from him and watched him play VR for like 5 minutes today. It gives me the heebie jeebies and I'm the one that was the weirdo. I just feel so icky about it lol. If you play VR with your front door wide open with the screen door cracked and you have a friend you call "cheese", then I'm so sorry I creeped on you.

TL:DR I went to the wrong house to deliver pizza and creeped on this guy playing something on VR and he has no idea I was there

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
