TIFU by eating nettle soup

So this morning I was at a market fair type thing in my local town. There are all sorts of stalls selling arts, crafts, food, clothing, you get the idea.

Anyway, I'm walling through the stalls, and out of the corner of my eye, something catches my eye. 'FREE SAMPLES'. Immediately I hurry over to the stall as it seems like they are running out, and free stuff is free stuff right?

So I pick it up and see that it is a little tub (50ml) of nettle soup. I put it in my pocket, and soon I go home. As I am walking home, I'm feeling a little peckish, so i decide to have a little taste of the nettle soup. I take of the lid, and give it a little smell. It smells awesome. I know the soup is cold at the moment, but I can't resit a quick taste. So I dip my finger in and lick the soup off my finger.

IT IS DISGUSTING. LIKE COMPLETELY REVOLTING. I immediately start spitting it out into a nearby bush. I am in awe. How can something taste so bad? I rinse my mouth out with water for a good few minutes until the taste disappears.

Then I look at the tub to read the ingredients, to try and find out what was so bad about this nettle soup. And that's when I read the label again, and realise it was not nettle soup, it was in fact nettle soap. On the bright side, at least I have a clean mouth now.

​

TLDR: Got a free sample of nettle soup. Ate it, it was disgusting, turns out I did not read the label and it was actually nettle soap.

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 ...
