TIFU by dancing into my mothers room blasting Machi No Dorufin while she was in a zoom meeting with her bosses.

New in these parts, on mobile, half asleep and mortified so any fuck ups aside from the obvious is on me. TL;DR at the end.

This happened half an hour ago. I dyed my hair blue last night and, per my history with startling her with odd hair colors first thing in the morning since my teens, decided to really up the ante by waltzing backwards into her room while shaking my ass and blasting my song (https://youtu.be/3RJg7M4rNkc) at the 2:48 point. Literally just the words DOOT DOOT DO DO DOOOOO repeatedly to what I find to be a fairly jaunty tune. Seriously, give it a listen and tell me you're not inspired to groove. I digress.

She mostly works from home but usually has her meetings later in the day with a sign on the door to warn me off. I get up, no sign, just the soft noises of her TV on. Perfect. I prep my tune, don my mermaid bathrobe, and more or less fly-kick her bedroom door open and proceed to prance in ass first, banging my head while DOOT DOO DOO DOO DOOOOO plays away. Naturally, because I am entering backwards, I do not see her perched on the edge of her bed with her computer fired up. I just hear the suddenly strangled sound of her catching her breath.

Odd, methinks. Usually there is a comment at this point. Music still going, I glance behind me, still wiggling my ass. And there is Mom, looking ready to pop like a tick-along with her two bosses ogling me from her computer screen in sudden silence. And I realize what I heard was not, in fact, the sound of her TV.

Naturally, this is bad, and my mother is Spanish so the Hurt may also be coming soon to theaters near me-therefore I do the only correct thing to do in this circumstance. Bark out a "shit, sorry!" and then turn and awkwardly dance right back out of her room with the music still going strong.

I turn the music off and head towards my room next to hers to go make my peace with God before she comes for me, but not before listening to her having to explain to her bosses that sorry, that was her daughter. They ask how old I am. I cringe so hard I turn inside out when she responds by telling them I'm 33.

Her meeting ends in an hour. It's been a pleasure serving with you all.

TL;DR wanted to show off my weird new hair color to my mother, so danced ass-first into her bedroom with Machi No Dorufin blasting away while assuming she wasn't busy, turned to find her bosses eyeballing me in shock from her computer screen as she was in a meeting, did not get new hair complimented, am too old for my own shit, will probably die soon, shame.

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 ...
