Tifu by microwaving cookie dough

Let me set the scene for this story. It’s 6 am, I am a 24 year old chick, my cats are loose downstairs and my grandmother is sleeping upstairs.

So I like cookie dough. And cookies. Who doesn’t? But I don’t like the oven, it kinda scares me to be honest. I saw the cookie dough in the fridge and I went “huh, I bet I can microwave that! And if it fails oh well I can just eat it raw.” And yes, I know, salmonella don’t eat raw cookie dough. That’s not today’s fuck up. I glanced at the packaging to get an idea of how long to put it in for, and it said, explicitly, DO NOT MICROWAVE COOKIE DOUGH. I scoffed. I shouldn’t have. I popped a chunk of cookie dough (m&m if you were curious) on a plate in the microwave, smooshed it flat and set it for 5 minutes. Maybe if I’d been watching, things would’ve been fine. But no. Me being the intelligent bitch that I am, fucked around on my phone. When I finally glanced up, white smoke was billowing from the microwave. Fuck. I did it Again. I threw open the microwave and the cookie dough was hard as a rock, black like charcoal and even more white smoke was pouring off it. I threw it by the sink and spent the next ten minutes trying to Fam the smoke away from the smoke detector while coughing and wheezing. I FaceTime my sleeping mother and said, “mom I need your help” and got a very sleepy “mmm?” From her. “How do I keep smoke from setting off the smoke detector I burned shit” and the Look she gave me. She advised me to open the back door, which I hadn’t done because of the cats but ya know. There’s a screen door. And just keep fanning it. I spent the next half an hour after that pacing downstairs and trying to fan the smoke away. While I was successful in keeping the smoke detector from going off, I wasn’t able to completely clear out the smoke smell, so I had to round up the cats and just leave the windows open. Through all of this, the worst I suffered was the judgement stares from my cats. The disappointment in their little eyes. 0/10. Do not recommend

Edit; there was actually so much smoke it burned my throat, made me cough and burned my eyes. The cats were (and still are) fine. Other than my wounded pride, I am also fine. I’ve also decided to add more detail to the post because it got more attention than I thought it would and you deserve the best lmao

TLDR; put cookie dough in microwave despite it saying not to, almost started a fire, did Not set off smoke detector.

I wish I’d thought to get a picture of the cookie dough before I broke it up, but here’s a picture of after I broke it off the plate with a knife. https://imgur.com/gallery/WiyKAjH

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 ...
