TIFU by scolding my employees on a Sunday.

Today I woke up in a panic at 6:50 thinking my alarm didn't go off. I am not scheduled in til 8:00 but I have been coming in at 7:00 to see how the opening crew is doing. My shop rule is if you're on the opening shift, you're to be there at 6:45, (Yes, they're paid to be there as soon as they arrive and paid while getting ready)clocked in, dressed, and ready to work to open everything up. For the customers who arrive at 7:00. I have remote access to my camera system so as I was looking to make sure everyone else was there and opening up. It was a ghost town, and I was pissed!

I started flipping through cameras in disbelief that my whole crew was late. I text one advisor and asked him where he was and when he'd be in. Then text another advisor the same. Getting frustrated and ready to fly out of bed, quickly shower and race in to work I start typing a text to all my my technicians and asking WTH is going on and asking if they planned this on purpose. Then it hit me...

Today is sunday. We are closed. My alarm didn't wake me because its set for Mon-Fri. Just then the second advisor text me back to remind me it was Sunday and ask me if I'm feeling okay, and to go back to bed. I apologized and apologized again. I feel terrible. I would love to go back to sleep, but all that adrenaline isn't going to let that happen. Oh well.

Edit. I never sent the message to the technicians.

TLDR; edit: Accidentally text two people tonsee if they were at work or on their way on a day we were closed.

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 ...
