TIFU by losing most of my penis in an accident with a belt sander.

This happened about a month ago, and was completely my stupid mistake. I was was using a machine at my job that had an exposed belt drive. There are clearly marked areas around this machine where you aren't supposed to stand, but people tend not to pay attention to them. I had walked into this area to pick up something I dropped and wasn't paying attention to how close I was to the spinning belt, and when I leaned over to pick it up, my pants got caught in it. It pulled me in so fast that before I could hit the shutoff it had made a huge abrasion on my thigh and sucked in my genitals. I instantly knew from the pain that it was not good and screamed for my coworker to call 911. The ambulance thankfully got there very quickly and was able to unwind the belt and take me to the hospital. The end of my dick was completely shredded and the surgeon had no choice but to amputate about half of it.

It hurt extremely badly for about a week, and only stopped being sore just recently. Getting the catheter and stitches taken out after 3 weeks was also really painful and embarrassing. Been trying to keep my mind off of it since then but I'm obviously pretty sad about the whole situation. I'm only 19 and am having a hard time imagining the rest of my life without my little buddy :-(

I still haven't completely gotten over the initial shock. I'm trying to cope somewhat and accept things by talking about it here.

Ask any questions or give any advice you want! I'd appreciate it thanks.

TL;DR Was stupid around heavy machinery, got the tip of my dick ripped off.

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 ...
