TIFU by picking up an underage prostitute

Of course the obligatory this didn't happen today, it happened 16 years ago. I (23m) started working at Home Depot and it was my second shift there, the store had just closed and my shift was over. I was walking to my car, I should mention I live in Canada and it was the middle of winter, probably around -20 C. I saw one of the cashiers leaving the parking lot to walk home, so I asked if she wanted a ride home. She said thanks that would be great.

I ask what her name is because I don't really know anyone's name outside of the department I work in. She tells me and then starts in on this rant while I'm driving about how she didn't get paid enough, and how some guy ripped her off. It didn't really make sense, but I didn't question it as it was kind of awkward. She then asked if "I like to party" a bit perplexed I told her "ya I like to party", as I did enjoy going to the bar at that time. She proceeds to tell me how much a blow job is but she would be willing to trade some drugs for a blowjob.

My dumbass finally clues into the fact she doesn't work at Home Depot. I finally put the pieces together, she wasn't walking from the store to her home, she just got out of one the semis that park in the parking lot overnight, and the person that ripped her off was the truck driver. I look at her and awkwardly say "sorry I didn't understand what you meant, I don't like to party". I feel really bad for her at this point and tell her I'll take her wherever she needs to go.

There wasn't much talking after that. Curiosity got the best of me and I asked how old she is. I wish I wouldn't have asked to be honest, it turns out she was 15. I felt incredibly sad in that moment, I'm sure she's had a hard life if this is where she's ended up at 15. We get to where she wanted to be dropped off which is a gas station. I was going to give her the cash I had which I'm sure wasn't more than $20. But then I had the thought that if I get caught giving a known underage prostitute money, no one would believe this ludacris story and my life would be over. So I didn't end up giving her anything out of fear and I completely regret not doing more to help her. In hindsight I obviously wasn't going to get caught for anything, there were no police around, but it all happened so quickly I didn't have time to rationally think about it.

TL;DR I picked up a 15 year old prostitute thinking it was one of the cashiers at the Home Depot where I had just started working.

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 ...
