TIFU by looking at the security camera monitor and scarring my boss's retinas

This happened 2 days ago, but my one coworker thought you'd get a kick out of this story so they suggested I post it here.

We have several security cameras set up inside and outside of our building. We all have monitors that display the camera feeds (multiple feeds on one screen, like zoom call) that are visible from our desks. This is important in the event one of our clients gets into a physical altercation with another person on the property. Right now we are still not seeing any clients face-to-face, however, we occasionally get volunteers and random people visiting. One of these random people is a kid (maybe 19 or 20 years old) and he is here because of court mandated community service hours. Lets call him Tyler.

Tyler has been doing odd jobs around the office. Window washing, mowing the lawn, weedwacking, moving heavy file boxes, etc. He's always been very polite and energetic. However, one day he went upstairs (he was cleaning up there recently, but had finished) and my coworker and I were snickering because he was clearly up there just wasting time browsing his phone. We didn't care, but we thought it was funny that he chose to do so in a room that had a camera. (There are 2 rooms that do not have cameras because they are locker rooms).

We continue to casually check the monitor to see just how long Tyler is going to sit up there logging community service hours by doing nothing. After about 20 minutes, I look up and I see he's still sitting there, but he's moving his hand rapidly. I squint, already thinking the worst and hoping he's just bouncing his leg up and down, causing the arm resting on that leg to also bounce. He was not. I text my coworker and say "What. Is. He. Doing???" and they texted back immediately saying they were just about to say the same thing to me. I go to their office. Tyler is CLEARLY jerking off in the room above our heads.

What do we do? After some deliberation, and giggling, I decide to go to my boss. I pop into his office (poor guy is in the middle of his lunch) and say, "Hey would you take a look at your monitor for a second and tell me what you see?" He looks for a second, then realizes. As I was in the office, Tyler stands up, finishes (onto the floor?!!) and then grabs a tissue off of the desk. My boss was covering his eyes and kept saying "I wish we hadn't seen that. I really wish we hadn't seen that."

Now my boss is faced with having to figure out how to deal with this. Tyler is a nice kid, and reporting this would almost certainly send him back to jail. Not to mention the aftermath of prosecutors and parole officers coming into our office and disrupting our work. We've kept Tyler working outside since the incident.

TL;DR: I saw the community service guy jacking off upstairs in the building he's supposed to be cleaning, informed my boss, and he got to watch the grand finale during his lunch.

Edit: Forgot to include the fact that after he was done upstairs he immediately went outside for a 15 minute smoke break. Must've been good...?

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 ...
