TIFU by dropping Compound W Plantar’s Wart Remover on my genitals

I have a plantar’s wart on my foot and I have been trying to treat it with Compound W Maximum Strength (30% salicylic acid).

So, I’m sitting in bed (I sleep in the nude), and start putting this potent stuff on my foot. I stick my leg up to show my girlfriend next to me: “This stuff is crazy; it’s gonna turn white in like 10 seconds, then its going to start bubbling and get really sticky and bond to the skin, then it’ll puff up a bit and turn super white”.

When I go to bring my leg back under me, I drop the entire open bottle of compound w right onto my testicules, inner thigh and some on my penis. I instantly jump up off the bed and sprint straight to the shower - I’m screaming “fuck, fuck , fuck, fuck” cause I know this is going to hurt like death, and who the hell knows what will happen down there; after all, this stuff is made to acid-burn warts and remove outer layers of skin. I proceed to turn the shower on as quickly as possible, my girlfriend following me running. I am not exaggerating when I say I am in the most excruciating pain of my life - screaming, breathing erratically and can barely speak. Im scrubbing frantically and water is not doing the trick - it’s making the chemical sort of sticky and clumpy. It is not coming off and I am freaking out about putting anything other than water with fear that it will make things worse (i could hear years of people saying dont mix unknown chemicals together; you never know what it will do). All my focus in on the balls - this is where I dropped most of the chemical, and the pain is indescribable. Genuinely feels like my two balls, without scrotum, are being held in a roaring bonfire. But I have to do something because im in excruciating pain, sweating like mad, can’t nt control my breathing and on the verge passing out. My hero (girlfriend) run’s over some dish soap and I proceed to lather and scrub like it was the first and last shower of my life. At this point im sitting ass-naked on the floor of my shower, with my glasses on, and about half a bottle of dish soap on my junk, with the shower stream basically waterboarding me.

Thankfully, this seemed to help, and i am now (30 minutes later), laying in bed with some aloe vera on my red sack typing out this story. Hopefully I dont wake up with lizard balls or something.

TL:DR I dropped some Compound W Maximum Strength plantar’s wart remover on my balls, thigh and penis. Chaos, pain and shame followed closely.

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...
