TIFU by using a random Porta Potty on an abandoned lot

This happened about 2 hours ago and I have a little bit of time on my lunch break so let me drop the situation on how I almost met god today.

I work as a Splicer for a certain ISP so my day is pretty much spent in the streets. The specific city I live in has a lot of renovations and new construction going on so I’m blessed to have access to porta pottys pretty much anywhere I go.

I had just finished up on a job took longer than expected so I had a bladder that I desperately needed to relieve. I drove down the street and a few minutes later I saw the one that would bring me close to death.

I didn’t think much of it but now looking back, there was a few red flags about this home. It looks like it hasn’t been touched in months, exterior Tyvek was coming off, weeds everywhere and no construction workers in sight.

I parked my work van a few feet away and I felt that the dams were about to burst. I step in to the Porta Potty, lock the door and went on about my business. I looked around and saw that the last service date was around march but I didn’t pay much attention to it. I let my thoughts meander and I’m filled with relief as I continue to drain the hose. While about halfway through I heard some small wings flapping near my ear and something land on my ear. I am deathly afraid of bugs and once this happened, chills ran down my spine as I made a sound similar to young cow getting dropped kicked off a 24 story building. I squealed and got so scared that the stream stopped on its own. As secured my the goods, internal panic sets in as my instincts made force my body to exit without thinking and I ran straight into the door. I hit the door with enough force to yeet a toddler. I forgot that I locked the door. Fight or flight kicked in as a heard the amount of wings buzzing behind me multiply. Chills run down my spine as I remembered that I locked the door. My brain kicked into slow motion, I saw my life flash before my eyes as I turn the handle and sprint out like Jesse Owens as soon as he heard the starting shot. I ran to my work van with speed that my high school self would be shocked to see, tried to slide over my hood like a Kroger version of starsky and hutch, jumped in the van and looked back, I saw at least 20-30 wasp buzzing around the porta potty door and I looked at the top and saw the wasp nest on the chimney. I catch my breath, clean my hands and drove off praying that no one saw what just happened.

TL:DR - I used a Porta Potty not knowing there was a wasp nest that made it it’s home.

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 ...
