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 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 ...
