TIFU by forgetting to take out my period cup for almost a month!

(Long time lurker, first time poster! This really just happened, I also posted to confessions but thought you guys would like to cringe with me)

Well.

I’ve heard stories told of women experiencing this since my childhood, and always thought it couldn’t ever happen to me! I’m not that dumb! I’m not that crazy! I like to masturbate so you’d think I’d notice before hardly any time has passed!

Alas, no.

I use instead cups for my period, not tampons, not pads, and not the reusable cups. These little discs are plastic and can be worn for up to 12 hours. And they kind of go way inside of me, to the point I don’t notice them at all (clearly)

This time though, my period ended a little early. I remember putting the cup in on the last day of my period and not really bleeding at all…. Which must be why my adhd ass FORGOT TO TAKE IT OUT FOR AMOST A MONTH!!!

Which is also why I spent the last part of this month thinking something is wrong with me! I had a little bit of smell that I wasn’t used to… I had sex with my boyfriend once this month and he asked if I was on my period because of the smell, which made me cry and think I had an std. And also not have sex with him out of that fear/insecurity. I made an appointment with a gynecologist, which thankfully isn’t until next week. I don’t need that poor woman pulling plastic out of me like some poor fish that got into garbage.

Guys, I fucking hate the holidays. I’m always a mess this month. My memory has been shifting because of Covid messing with my adhd issues, so I’m forgetting a ton of things daily right now.

This though… this was one for the books.

TL;DR: cup in for over a month, thought I had a horrible std, turns out I’m just a big dumb idiot

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 ...
