TIFU by thinking I could post on Reddit

I will be surprised if this actually posts. So, I have been aware of Reddit for years. I read things on it all the time and get good information and tips. Stuff about news, games, even random information that I just happen to need at the time that I end up at via a Google search. So I decide ok I am going to make an account. Of course I am not cool enough to think of a good username so I keep the random one given to me, maybe that is a part of the fu. I read posts on here daily since I have joined. I have for months. I decide ok, I think I finally have something good to post outside of a question or two about some computer stuff. I post it, and I am like awesome I did it. Look at me go, I hope someone thinks it is cool like I do and maybe this will be the start of me getting out of my shell as just a spectator of sorts. Check my messages. Apparently it got deleted. My account is too new? How new is too new. It didn’t tell me that. It also said I didn’t have enough Karma or whatever it is called. Well how would I get that if I can’t post. I have tried other subs and attempted to post. Same issues. Ok, so maybe it’s because of all the bot stuff. I get it. Tons of new accounts just posting what they want and skewing things. Maybe just give me one of those terribly complex Captchas where I have to click the check mark or something. That stops all the bots. Guaranteed. Though like I said my username probably makes me seem like a bot anyway. Maybe I just need to read a sub that explains how to Reddit. Maybe I am just not savvy on my old age of 34. Better luck next time. Hope this post doesn’t get deleted.

TL;DR: TIFU by thinking I could just post anywhere being new and seeming like a bot.

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 ...
