TIFU: by letting my ps4 controller run out of battery

I ordered food for delivery from DoorDash and I was watching YouTube on my ps4. One thing led to another and I got to “insider edition “ videos.

If you aren’t aware insider edition has video clips of things happening to people (ie: people being kidnapped ,shooters and shit like that) and they give a short report of what happens, during this time I get a notification about my battery being low, but I was too lazy to move and I figured I’d just plug it up when I answer the door for the driver.

To give you an image of the setting: I live on a street where there aren’t any numbers to identity a home. My bed is is next to the window and my room is on the 2nd floor, additionally my room is right above the front door

Because there aren’t any numbers, I normally sit on the edge of my bed and look out the window. if I see my driver I go downstairs and signal them to the door. So 45 minutes later I get the notification that my driver is pulling up and I go ahead and get situated by my window so I can see when they’re here.

Note that on this particular day it was starting to get sunnier, so I had left my window open.

when the driver gets here, I am greeted by a cute girl, probably in her early 20s.

Now here’s the fuck up, when on mobile devices the media you’re playing automatically stops when the headphones are unplugged or removed. This is NOT the case with ps4 controllers, when the controller dies, the media keeps playing.

I had auto play on and forgot to pause the video I was watching, when I meet the delivery driver at the door (which is right below my bedroom) we both hear a woman screaming “HELP ME PLEASE” coming from my window

I realized instantly that it was another insider edition video that was auto playing and I panicked. So instead of being a smart person, i ran from the door all the way upstairs to stop the video. By the time I got upstairs the driver was already pulling out of my driveway. The screaming was only about 4 seconds, but my immediate running(like a fucking idiot) was what probably scared her off.

Later the police showed up to my house and I had to explain the situation to them. It was embarrassing but a good memory to make

TLDR: ordered delivery and when my driver came, my controller died while I was watching a YouTube video on ps4 that included a woman screaming. Driver heard the screams, drove off and called the cops.

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 ...
