TIFU by Not Telling My Kids What a Bidet Was Before it Was Too Late (USA)

My kids are young. We live in a location that simply doesn’t use bidets enough (USA). I decided, “you know what? I’m going to try it. I’ll get a crappy one and if I hate it, I’ll feel sad, but no major loss.”

And that’s what I did. I bought one on sale for $25. You know, the kind that have two settings: Sprinkle, and tear you a new butthole.

Well, we’ve enjoyed it thoroughly through the pandemic, and my wife refuses other toilets during, erm, messier months. I no longer have to use hoards of dude wipes to clean the magic marker down under.

Well, guess what. The kids don’t usually use the master bathroom, cause the “main” one is a little closer to the family room.

Queue my poor toddler.

The main bathroom was in use, and the poor little twerp definitely wasn’t going to wait. He shot into our bathroom and quaintly took care of business.

Aaaaaand then the screaming. Oh Judas, the screaming. I thought he’d fallen and smashed his femur while on fire or something.

My wife and I rushed in as quickly as possible, and discovered the back wall was being fire-hosed by the bidet. The toddler was clenching his eye. It’s a half bath, so water was EVERYWHERE.

His eye was in rough shape, and we had to take him in. The doctor couldn’t help but laugh, because he said it was the third incident since the pandemic began where something similar has happened, likely due to complete unfamiliarity with bidets in general here.

Please teach your kids what it is instead being a dumbass, like me. 🤦🏼‍♂️

TL;DR Installed a bidet in the states where it’s less common, didn’t teach my kids about it, toddler got shot in the eye for a nice doctor visit.

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 ...
