Tifu by calling my mom a whore in front of my class and teacher

today i fucked up by calling my mom a whore in front of my entire class and teachers.

Obligatory not today, but yesterday. Just to preface, I am from the Netherlands, but I live in Prague, and go to an international school.

Yesterday we came back from a 3 day school trip. at 16:00 we were getting in the bus to leave, when I received a text from my dad, I'm at the pickup point, how far out are you. I told him were just leaving and would arrive at like 18:00. He got the timing wrong. He apologized and told me that there was a pizza in the freezer, and I should watch a movie or something, and enjoy myself, as my sister was out with friends, and he and my mother had a dinner appointment. I said no problem, and that was that. Cut to about an hour later, and my mom calls me. everyone one the bus is silently listening to music, but about 75% of people have only one ear covered She apologized and said that she could cut dinner short, and leave early. I told her not to, and that I would actually prefer a moment of solitude. She asked me how it went, and whether i would really be fine alone. I told her, slightly annoyed, "yeah sure." this is the fuck up. I make sure to never use words that sound wrong in English to avoid confusion. In Dutch, "Yeah Sure" translates to "ja hoor" (pronounced yah whore). My friend looks at me, and asks, "who was that?" "Just my mom." he texted me later that night and asked me what whore means in dutch, and that a bunch of people were wondering what i said

Tl;Dr, I talked to my mom in dutch, and made it seem like i called her a whore.

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 ...
