TIFU by dropping my purse outside my car which lead to the worst day of my life as of yet

This actually happened yesterday but even if I wanted to type this out yesterday I couldn’t because I went into a full blown mental breakdown. So heres what happened…

Also I apologize for my grammar. I know grammar means a lot on Reddit but after the car crash I’m still pretty out of it.

Yesterday I got up for work which was very hard to do because I spent the day/night before packing all of my belongings into boxes because I’m getting ready to move. My move out date is July 23rd. I was told that if I payed my rent before the 1st of July I’d only have to pay $1,289. However if I waited until the 1st of the month I’d have to pay 1,589. I don’t fully understand how they came up with those numbers but that’s what I was told. I’m currently living off of pennies so the thought of saving a couple extra hundred dollars was fantastic. Anyway I got some breakfast on my way into work and then went inside to start my workday. My workday was good but halfway through the day I realized I didn’t have my purse. I searched my desk and my car but chalked it up to maybe I forgot it at home. Anyway I get off of work and as I’m driving to the bank to get a cashiers check to pay rent, the thought dawned on me…. I had breakfast this morning, I PAID for breakfast this morning. I realized my purse was stolen. I immediately check my online bank account and make the awful discovery that hundreds of dollars had already been spent at a Walmart, two charges. One charge for over $300 and another charge for over $200. Im fucked. I can’t pay rent. I pull over and start canceling all of my cards. I get in touch with my bank and file a claim. I call the non-emergency number to report my ID as stolen. Im freaking out. My day has gone to shit. I don’t know how I’m going to pay rent and my brain goes into crisis mode. I finally pull back onto the road when I feel as though I’ve calmed down. I start to drive home and I don’t know what happened to my brain but I blacked out. Next thing I know, I’m about to crash into the car in front of me so I swerve and crash into the car in front of me and the car next to me. I’ve now totaled my car and ruined two other peoples day as well. I had to spend another $400 to get my car towed and now I have to pay daily lot charges with the tow company. Anyway I spent the rest of the day yesterday rolled up into a ball crying. I keep telling myself things couldn’t get worse, right?…anyway yesterday is over. Now I just need to figure out what to do from here. If you took the time to read this post, thank you. I don’t really have many people to talk to about this so I figured why not strangers on the Internet.

So yea. TLDR; TIFU by getting my purse stolen, which lead to them using my bank cards, which lead to me realizing I couldn’t pay my rent, which lead to me having a mental breakdown, which lead to me totaling my car.

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 ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
