TIFU by wasting police resources and being a forgetful idiot

This happened literally this morning.

Today started off in all the wrong ways. I woke up late because my phone alarm was on silent, rushed to get my morning routine done, and fled out the door to work.

In my rush to work, I stopped at the gas station for a breakfast burrito and Red Bull. While there I placed my phone down on the counter, quickly paid and left. I rushed into my car, ate while driving, got to work at the exact time I needed to clock in... and noticed my phone was gone. Just not there, nowhere in the car.

Well, shit, I must’ve left it on the counter. So I told my boss I was heading back for my phone and left to go back to the gas station.

At the gas station my phone was gone and the manager told me she didn't see any phone left on the counter. I asked if I could see the security footage and she informed me that, no, I couldn’t see any security footage. She straight-up told me to get the cops if I want to see the footage.

Okay, well, I am a mechanic for the police, so I went back to work. Which is a police station with a garage. I then asked for a detective at the office and I was immediately helped out there. I filed a report, he said he would go to the gas station, and I went back to work.

At this point I’m so confident my phone was taken that I told people about it. Like a, “Get how crazy this is,” story.

Not even 45 minutes go by when the detectives pulled up with my phone. They found it at the curb and saw on tape that I put it on top my car when I got in to leave. It fell to the curb as I drove away.

TL;DR Nobody stole my phone, I just basically dropped it. I used police to figure this out.

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...
