TIFU I forgot to add water to ramen noodles before I microwaved them.

Today, I really fucked up. I don't know if I'm distracted or what, but I did something so stupid, it could've started a fire.

Earlier today, I was hungry and it was lunchtime, so I went to the kitchen to make something. Not wanting to do a lot of work, I just grabbed microwavable ramen noodles from the pantry and put them into a bowl. I was trying to do many things at once, like make lunch, grab something else, and fill my water bottle for later.

I grabbed a bowl and put the noodles in the bowl. Because I had so much on my mind at once, I just put the bowl in the microwave, and turned it on. I wasn't thinking of anything at that moment, but when it was done, the microwave was full of smoke. It also stunk. I quickly closed the door, thinking that the microwave had something else burned in it.

I walked into my room to get my water bottles, and fill them up for later. When I came out and turned on the tap, I realized that this was the first time I turned on the tap. I put my water bottles down, walked over to the microwave, and there was this black spot on the noodles. I quickly ran to the sink and tried to cool down both the noodles, and my bowl. I managed to cool them both down, but I just threw them away because they were both ruined.

What's even worse, is that I live with a roommate, and his mother was over for a little while. I'm glad she didn't catch me, but it was so embarrassing.

TL;DR: I forgot to add water to ramen, burnt the shit out of the noodles, then threw them away. All this while my roommate's mom was over here.

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 ...
