TIFU by teaching my dog a trick

Obligatory this happened a little while ago, but I've just now been able to look my apartment manager in the eye again since it happened. TL;DR at the bottom.

I have a very good 5 year old staffy cross. He's smart as a whip and I love dog training, so we work on a lot of (mostly silly) tricks together. We've been working on several body positioning tricks, so I recently taught him "middle", which means he walks behind me and plants himself between my legs. He picked it up quick and I patted myself on the back for my incredible dog training ability.

And this, friends, is where hubris took another victim.

We live in an apartment complex, and the apartment manager LOVES my dog. She always gives him treats so he thinks she's a goddess. As usual, we ran into her on our morning walk and headed into the leasing office for his treats. Then my beautiful dog, loving treats and desperate to please the goddess dispensing them, decided to earn his treat that day by showing off his new trick without prompting and cheerful inserted himself between her legs. He is not a small dog, and her skirt acknowledged that.

So there we were. My dog between a woman's legs staring up at her with adoring eyes, a very confused manager with a Milkbone in her hand and her skirt halfway up her thighs, and an incredibly embarrassed me hoping I'm not going to evicted. Luckily, she's a great sport and laughed her ass off, and I slinked back to my apartment to tell my wife that we need to move and possibly send the dog to a sexual harassment seminar.

TL;DR: my dog pushed up my apartments managers skirt for a Milkbone, I'm never teaching him another trick again, and now I need to move and probably put him on some sort of listing.

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 ...
