TIFU by getting into a relationship with a girl whos the daughter of a man who was involved in my dads murder

Quick flashback I was 5 when my dad was murdered in front of me in cold blood, it was intentional, I am now in my 30s. So I meet a girl at a Giant EDM festival (EDC pre covid) in a different state and she was amazing , Blue eyes, blonde hair , funny, energetic a Perfect female for me. We hit it off and all has been well until three nights ago.

While out having dinner we decide to share stories of our past and families. She begins telling me her dads story and it was strangely a similar to my own, and so the odd vibe continues. I ask more questions, as does she and its confirmed without a reasonable doubt our dads knew each other down to the neighborhood they both lived in. It gets better... She asks if she may text her dad and ask how does he know my dad by name, I agreed and she did. daddy starts blowing up her phone “Where are you, who are you with, whos asking, are you ok” etc. panic questions she begins to cry and says “Daddy I’m fine but do you know this man?” He says Yes I do. She then puts him on speaker phone and He tells her “baby remember when I told you daddy was arrested for witnessing a murder? Well thats the murder I was there in the car when they opened fire and I saw that young man your with in his dads car”

She bursts into tears and i grab her phone while shes panicking and ask him “so you know me? I have one question, did you kill my father?” He said “No I didn’t but I was with the people who did and I was also very young mod teens I was at the wrong place at the wrong time”. My anger went thru the roof and the girl was flipping on her dad also. I call my mom and ask about the guy and she was shocked he was present because she knew him personally . SMALL WORLD! but he was apologetic and said he was not involved in planning or even in execution he was just there with no knowledge. Convo ended, bill paid I took her home and next morning we had breakfast to clear the air. We are still dating but she no longer speaks to her father.

TL;DR Started dating a girl who’s father was a witness to my fathers murder when I was 5 years old

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 ...
