TIFU by melting/burning a PVC sex toy in my oven.

This may be my worst fuck up of all time. Also disclaimer, this story might gross some of you out.

So, I took the day off from work today and was enjoying some "alone time" while my gf was at work. I recently got into butt stuff for the extra stimulation, so I borrowed my gfs sex toy to use.

Once I was done, I noticed that the toy was dirty so I wanted to clean it well. Note this was only my second time experimenting with the toy, and last time it wasn't "dirty" after use. I took the toy to the sink and gave it a good wash with hot soapy water like usual.

Here is the gross part, the toy still smelled pretty bad after washing, and I could not get it to go away. So, I I turned to my good pal reddit for answers on how to get the stench gone. I tried a couple easy methods with no luck, so I went for the bake out option that someone recommended here: https://www.reddit.com/r/SexToys/comments/p93k2n/how_do_i_get_the_shit_smell_off_my_dildo/

Being the dildo novice that I am, I assumed the thing was made out of silicone, which is high-temp resistant. The post above recommend one hour at 400F to remove the smell, so I set my oven and threw the thing in there on a sheet pan.

We recently bought one of those plastic divider curtains for our hallway to keep the cool air on the living room side of the house, so I didn't notice the burning smell until i walked out into the kitchen. I immediately noticed smoke in the air and started coughing. At first I thought it was the parchment paper burning, but the smoke was a different kind of irritating.

It was at this moment, I knew I fucked up. I opened the oven and a billow of smoke rushed out and the toy was now a smoking purple puddle. I turned off the oven and ran out of the kitchen to grab something to cover my face. Went back in and grabbed the sheet pan and chucked it into the driveway while holding my breath.

I grabbed a fan and propped the door open to ventilate. Then I went to the Adam and Eve website to try and find the toy to figure out what material it was made out of. Well turns out it's PVC, which I learned today releases extremely harmful chemical fumes when heated past 145F....it was at 400F for like 20 mins. Here is some info on the fumes it releases.

After reading all this im freaking out that i inhaled poison...and some of rhe smell and smoke started to migrate into the living room where we have our ferret. I opened some windows, threw the ferty in her carrier, and sat in my car with the AC on for awhile.

All is good now and the smell is gone, could have been alot worse.

PSA: Don't assume your dildo is silicone and heat resistant and put it in the oven to clean....I guess?

tl:dr: I assumed a sex toy was silicone and tried to clean it at a high temp in my oven to remove smell. Turns out it was PVC which creates toxic chemical fumes when heated/burned. I could have died and killed my pet by a melting dildo.

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...
