TIFU by falling asleep with a bin bag on my head and boobies out

So this has happened around 6 years ago but for some reason I only just remembered it - my mind maybe just wants to protect me from this cringe.

I used to work in Greggs doing a 5.30am-11.30am shift which meant I had to be up dead early. By the time I’ve finished work I was ready for a small nappy nap again before cracking on with house work and stuff.

One of these days I thought I kill 2 birds with one stone and start dying my hair before going off to sleepy land. I don’t know how other ladies do their hair but basically I shut the curtains, take my top and bra off (to prevent black dye getting on it) and whack a black binbag around my head. I’ve set an alarm for 45 minutes and gone to sleep on the sofa.

Around ~40 mins into my nap I woke up to the sound of our creaky stairs. I’ve jumped up to see wagwan and saw this builder looking geezer going down on it. He just shouted up to me saying ‘it’s all done’ and left before I could’ve even ask any questions.

I was so confused, I messaged my (now) husband immediately who told me that the landlord has messaged him the previous day that he’ll send someone out to fix the toilet that’s making a honking noise. I’m guessing the landlord must’ve given him keys too to let himself in in case we’re out.

So this poor builder guy must’ve come in, saw me half naked lying on the sofa with a bin bag on my head, somehow fixed the toilet without waking me up and tried to sneak out of the apartment but i caught him in the act.

I’m bloody cringing every time I think of this, I bet he was thinking what the hell is wrong with this girl. But he did fix the toilet that sounded like a foghorn so it’s a win.

TL;DR: fell asleep half naked with a bin bag over my head and traumatised an unsuspecting builder who just wanted to fix my toilet

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...
