TIFU by letting my cat investigate my face

This happened this morning. Also, this might be pretty gross to some, or many. Probably all.

So I woke up this morning and grabbed my phone to scroll Reddit while in bed for a bit before actually getting up. I rolled onto my back, face up, with my neck bent and my phone resting on my chest. Usually when Rosie (the aforementioned cat) hears me moving in the morning she knows she can extort me for pets so she comes-a-runnin. And when I lay on my back she loves to loaf on my chest.

Well I was already scrolling Reddit when she got to me so she plopped down on my chest right behind my phone and started rubbing her head on my hand/phone. I was petting her with my other other hand but she’s a needy cat and clearly that wasn’t enough. So after a minute or two I put my phone down and started petting her with two hands. To her this meant “come closer,” so she crawled closer and started investigating/smelling my face.

I said “good morning” to her and she responded “good meowning” back, as she does. But she’s more interested in smells so she starts sniffing...my eye, then my cheek, then the tip of my nose, then my mouth; she sniffed all over. During the investigation I had to yawn, so I opened my mouth. Before I went full yawn I saw her lean forward to inspect the new level she had unlocked. I didn’t think it problematic, which was my FU.

I then exhaled, and I guess my ripe morning breath was too much to handle because next thing I knew I heard a cat gag and I felt a glob of saliva like substance fall into my mouth and down my chin. Luckily it was not a full vomit, just the amuse-bouche.

I pushed Rosie away as I reflexively rolled to my side with my mouth open and tongue up. Gravity pulled most of it out and I spat out the rest. I left my mouth open as I ran to the bathroom trying to prevent any tastebuds from engaged. I then proceeded to wash my mouth with every technique to which I am familiar, and sheets went in the wash.

Moral: don’t let your cat smell your morning breath from above you.

Tl;dr: I yawed while my cat was was investigating my face and smelling my mouth in bed this morning and she spit up into my mouth.

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 ...
