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 - 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...
