TIFU by driving off with another trucks keys on the side of my truck without knowing.

I am waiting to get pulled up for this...maybe...but today my collegues and i were loading up my small truck with another trucks keys (using the orange key to move the tail of the truck open and closed) because they couldn't find the original trucks keys.

When i closed the tail the pin didn't match with the lock (height wise) so my other coworker took the keys to mend it for me. I found tge original keys and took off because we had finished loading it up.

I was driving down the highway (about 10mins away from work hq) when i got a phone call from a work mate asking if i had the keys to her truck. I checked my pockets and said no. She then asked if our coworker had accidentally left them in the tail controller part.

I pulled over in tge emergency lane (for safety since i was on a highway) and sure enough there was the other trucks keys....i phoned my work mate saying that yes they were on the side of the truck. My gps said to get back i had to go another way and it would take 20mins.....40mins later i get back and drop off the keys. Apparently she got in trouble for using other trucks keys. My collegue got nothing and i am just waiting for my turn to get called in and yelled at for my fuck up...

I would have delivered my truck load early for once but got there at the usual times/abit later.

TL:DR: didn't check to see if my coworker left keys for another truck on the side of mine and drove down the highway. (Gave them back though eventually).

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...
