TIFU by helping my BF cook after a bad night

Okay, well, it happened over the weekend. I (22F) am staying with my BF (24M) of six months while going back and forth from college. This weekend I drove to our apartment and parked the car on the side of the street. Later we get a call from his mother saying that a car’s side mirror was left in front of our door. Long story short, someone had hit my car in a drunken accident and drove off. The side mirror that came off was theirs, but my car also took some damages. I quickly became upset, and just wanted to relax the rest of the night. My BF offered a margarita just to help calm my nerves and I took him up on the offer. For context, I take abilify to help with my bipolar disorder. For those that don’t know, that medicine and alcohol don’t always mix. For me, it gets me “double drunk,” or just drunk quicker. So, I usually just take small sips when I have a drink, and usually I only get sleepy. However, this time my BF put in more Tequila than usual. I was handed the drink and I began to suck it down. I was so thirsty from driving for three hours. I also hadn’t had much to eat yet and my taste buds were craving something sweet. I mention about half the way down the drink that we needed food. My BF goes to make some mac and cheese just to get something in our stomachs. Eventually he calls me over to come drain the pasta. Since I am scared of holding the strainer and having water being poured towards my hands, I usually hold the pot and pour it in. However, this time when I stood up, I realized I was F-ed up. Really fucked up. But in my head I kept telling myself “you’re just draining pasta, you can do this. I was handed the pot of pasta, I saw the strainer, and I just began to pour… all over myself. Boiling water directly into my crotch area. I yelled and all I remember next was removing my pants and putting a wet towel between my legs. I had given myself 2nd/3rd degree burns on my upper thighs and just barely missed my poor coochie. My BF was freaking out, also drunk, and not sure what to do. So we ended up adding ointment to the areas, having band-aids, and just waiting. My right thigh is nice and red while my left thigh has dark areas and bubbling. So lesson learned: eat first and then drink.

TL:DR- I got drunk, tried to pour pasta into drainer, and ended up getting burned in my tighs

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 ...
