TIFU A coworker and my self removed almost all of this multimillion dollar houses insulation by mistake

So I used to work for this crawl space company, we would do insulation removal, install, sump pumps dehumidifiers, French drains, vapor barrier, mold treatment, etc. The job we had was in a really Rich neighborhood on the New Jersey shore. But apparently there were two houses with the same number on similar sounding streets. Our gps took us to the wrong house. The customer wanted insulation removal and the crawl space entered was out back. Apparently the customer was not going to be home so they said to just start working, but we went to the wrong house by mistake with no one home and the crawl space enterence out back. And we started to work by removing all the insulation and put it in trash bags.

When we got a call from our boss an hour later we realized it was the wrong house because the real customer called asking where we were an hour later because they had a security camera and never saw us at their house..we literally ripped out 1/2 of this million dollar houses insulation that was recently put it, this would be atleast a 1000 dollar job to reinstall..which we were so confused why someone would want to remove and replace brand new insulation, but they were rich so we didn’t think any thing of it..

So we put all the insulation in garbage bags in the houses crawl space and when we realized we were in the wrong house, we took off as soon as possible, leaving over 50+ bags of this guys brand new insulation bagged up under his house.. to this day some guy who owns a multimillion dollar + house on the new jersey shore has almost all his brand new insulation removed and bagged up under his crawlspace. One day he is going to go down there and be so pissed off and confused when he finds out.

The company I worked for was the definition of a piece of shit, and if I told the home owners I would have got fired.. my boss did not want to pay the money to fix our mistake or have us spend more time than we already had their, so Our boss told us to just leave and get out of there and never speak about it. This was a few years ago and nothing ever came about it.

TL;DR Went to wrong multimillion dollar house in New jersey by the ocean , me and coworker took down basically all their insulation and then left when we found out because our boss is a POS.

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...
