TIFU by not chewing enoki mushrooms properly

Edit: enoki mushrooms are apparently called the "see you tomorrow mushroom" due to its tendency to come out of the digestive process whole. The kind I ate was called "white crab mushrooms", a thicker variant of enoki mushroom.

Obligatory 'didn't happen today'.

Several years ago we had hotpot for dinner, where I ate a bunch of enoki mushrooms. The next day, I woke up around noon and took a shit. It was a pretty straightforward shit until I got to the last piece. As I felt the last chunk of crap exit my rectum, I waited for the plopping sound of the turd dropping into the toilet water, but didn't hear it. It felt like the poop was dangling out of my ass. I wiggled my butt a bit to get it to drop down, but it didn't. I wiggled some more and the object was flinging around but it was clearly not coming out. I began to panic as I thought it was a parasite like a worm. It felt cold and slimy, and the same width as a skinny earthworm, unlike a normal shit. I sat there for an hour and a half, clenching my buttcheeks to try and force it out, but the last tiny section of the turd was sitting in that tiny 'blind spot' where my ass muscles couldn't push it out. It was also the last piece of feces left inside me so I couldn't just shove it out with another piece of shit. It's like trying to squeeze the last bit of toothpaste out of the tube.

The shit was so long it would swing left and right whenever I made the smallest movement. Whenever it did so, I would feel some movement inside my anus, which led to me thinking it was possibly alive. I was panicking, thinking about the possibility that I was passing some sort of living parasite through my bowels. I took my phone out and made a bunch of google searches to find a solution to my predicament but it seemed like this was a very rare occurrence and many people even thought I was trolling when I asked about it in online forums/chatrooms. After four and a half hours in the restroom, I had lost feeling in my legs multiple times and the sun had even begun setting. I mustered my willpower and decided to just pull it out. I wrapped toilet paper around my hand and grabbed the thin dangling shit.

I immediately regretted doing so and pulled my hand away. It felt exactly like a slimy, living worm. It was even a bit elastic and squishy. I wrapped several more layers of toilet paper around my hand and went again. I gave the thing a little tug. It was a strange and horrible sensation, like a snake was crawling out of my rectum. I expected it to come out smoothly considering how slimy it was but there was a lot more friction than I expected. At this point I was trembling head to toe and the thing was swinging around, still dangling halfway out of my asshole. Keep in mind that 3 or 4 inches of this thing was hanging out of my ass and what felt like an unknown length was still in my ass, and at the time I was 100% certain that it was a worm of some kind. After sitting there for another half hour thinking about how my life had led to this point, I mustered up all my courage, wrapped my hand in a ton of tp, grabbed the 'worm', and pulled. It was a horrible feeling as I slowly dragged it out of my hole, but I was finally free.

When I looked at it to decide whether I should flush it or keep it to show to the doctor, I realized it wasn't a worm. It was an enoki mushroom, like the ones I had eaten the previous night. Apparently I swallowed it without chewing, and it passed through my entire digestive system in one piece. Ever since that day, I have been afraid of enoki mushrooms, and I avoid foods that are hard to digest in general. Remember to always chew your food, especially if you're eating things like enoki mushrooms.

TL;DR: Swallowed a large enoki mushroom whole. It didn't digest at all and remained intact, and the mushroom's head got stuck on the way out of my rectum.

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 ...
