TIFU by nearly having my head blown off by a sniper

Obligatory this didn’t happen today but rather a couple days ago

Apologies for typos I’m typing this on mobile

For context, around 6:00 am on a Monday there was a burglary or a hostage situation (I can’t remember which) at generic gas station A. At the peak of this incident, there was a helicopter, 2 snipers and around 12 or so police officers. Surprisingly enough they didn’t bother putting the surrounding schools in lockdown because it was resolved fairly quickly

Now to the beginning of the story

Before I went to school that morning, I decided to go for a quick walk down to generic gas station A to grab a quick drink and some snacks. Now because of unfortunate timing I forgot to use the restroom before I left my house and had to walk all the way over while holding the urge to release all of gods fury into a toilet. So I finally get to generic gas station A and I get my usual items and go up to pay.

Here is where the fuck up begins

Because of the unfortunate timing from earlier in the morning, I had to use the gas station bathroom and I would remain there for about 10-15 minutes. During these 10-15 minutes the suspect would jump on the roof with his hostage and I would be down in the bathroom releasing the elephants fury upon the poor toilet. By the time I had finished it was around 20 minutes before school started and I had to hurry.

When I exited the bathroom, and got to the actual store part of the gas station, it was empty and I was confused but not entirely fazed. As soon as I opened the door to leave the gas station, I had 2 snipers aiming at my head and a handful of cops pointing their guns at me. At this point in time I am having multiple heart attacks and saying multiple prayers. As soon as they realized that I wasn’t the suspect they escorted me out of the gas station and one of the cops gave me a ride to my school.

TL:DR A bad case of the runs leads to a near death experience

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 ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
