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 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 ...
