TIFU by not cleaning out the fridge before partially moving out

This just happened today. Right now. I’m in horrified shock that this is real life and I need this moment to just come to terms with this horror movie.

I bought a house back in May. My lease wasn’t up until July but it worked out okay for me financially to not break my lease and just stay through end of July.

I Moved essentials into the house planned on being sort of between both places in between work. But my new job kept me traveling too much to get back to the apartment much more than to throw a few more boxes together and move them over to the house.

Today I showed up to gather the last of my things and clean up. I decided to clean out what was left in the fridge and that’s when the scene that will haunt my nightmares unfolded.

Some time in the 6 weeks I haven’t been around, the fridge quit working. I wasn’t here to notice. It’s summer. And I had the thermostat set to 75 since I wasn’t staying here. I opened to door to a backwoods redneck murder cabin fridge in a horror movie’s amount of maggots. Everywhere. Just covering every surface. Undulating. So. Many. Maggots. As if I covered every surface of my fridge with rice that then came to life.

I. Do not. Know what to do. I am HORRIFIED. I want to bleach my entire body. I want to scream. I want to cry. I want to vomit. Even though it’s not exactly my fault I’m still horrified and ashamed to tell my leasing office. I cannot believe this is happening in real life. Like I’m some sort of hoarding addict with a maggot filled house.

I wish. I had dumped. The fridge. I only kept food in it because I planned on being over here enough to still need food on hand. This is the biggest fuck up of my life. I am traumatized. I will have nightmares about this for years.

TLDR: didn’t completely empty my fridge before half-moving out of my apartment. Fridge broke while I was away. Maggots left to multiply unchecked for weeks. Opened fridge to find hundreds if not thousands.

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 ...
