TIFU by stashing p00pouri in my backpack

I, (17) have a general rule I stand by of "when you gotta go, you gotta go", but im not a jerk obviously, and I don't want to stink up any school bathrooms. I've struggled with intestinal problems for most of my life, so this rule seemed especially important to me to keep me on a somewhat healthy schedule.

To solve this dilemma, I put a small bottle of p00pouri in my bag, so that if I ever had to...go...I could do it without shame.

For context, p00pouri is the name brand for a type of spray that you spray into a toilet bowl being doing your business to mask the smell of it. It works pretty well too in all the years I've been using it. I figured it was a smart enough item, and I put it in a small pocket on my backpack.

I've had this bottle in my bag for about a month now, and I've used it maybe twice. Really came in handy for a bit, until this week. I usually put my car keys in the same pocket as this p00pouri because my backpack doesn't have many pockets. One day when grabbing out my keys, I noticed they were wet, and smelled very strongly like chemical citrus. I knew immediately...we had a problem with the poopouri.

The p00pouri was found at the bottom of the pocket, and almost completely empty. And my backpack reaked of citrus. By the time I had realized that it had spilled, it was giving me headaches for days, one that I'm still nursing right now. I finally got around to cleaning it all up, but it still smells so pungent. I can't get rid of the citrus scent, and I don't dare tell anyone what I had done.

I ended up throwing away most of the stuff I kept in that same pocket, such as pads, deodorant, and an old pair of sunglasses. Where my backpack doesn't smell like citrus, it now smells like clorox wipes.

All I hope is that no one noticed, and if they did, they don't own the same scent of p00pouri...

Tl;dr I put p00pouri in my backpack, it spilled everywhere, and now my backpack has a headache inducing citrus scent to it.

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...
