TIFU by asking my dad to switch TV Providers.

For some context, I live in Connecticut which for those who don’t live in America, Is right in between New York City and Boston.

We currently have been using Hulu with the Live TV feature as our main TV provider for over 3 years now.

The only issue I had with Hulu was that despite me living closer to Providence and Boston than New York. We only get the New York Regional Channels, for both sports and News.

We also get the local Connecticut New Stations but we don’t get the New England Regional Sports Networks which for me is a major red flag as I am a Die hard Boston Sports Fan.

A couple of days ago, I asked my dad if he would be interested in switching to one of the TV providers that “supposedly” had the New England Sports Networks.

We sat down and went through the options and we ended up settling on YouTube TV.

Big mistake, they don’t have the New England Networks. Even though I read an article that said they had those networks, apparently their only on TubiTV and DirecTV Stream.

I ended up digging further and found an OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM YOUTUBE TV that said they were removing the New England Regional Networks for all users in that area. Including CT. Now my dad is pissed at YouTube TV for having conflicting articles saying different things. He’s been on the phone with them for over 2 hours trying to cancel the subscription. I honestly feel like this could’ve been prevented had I read the article more.

TL;DR Asked my Dad to Switch TV providers for one channel and ended up not getting that channel after signing up.

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 ...
