TIFU by getting our puppy stoned out of her mind.

I can’t tell anyone in my life about this because me and my fiancé will look like ducking idiots.

Our six month old Corgi was suuuuuper sleepy around 5 pm last night, snuggling up to us. Which is rare as she’s usually very active, alert and playful. Especially since she slept well and didn’t go on any walks. There was no reason to be this tired.

We woke her up and her head was swaying when she looked at anything, she had a hard time keeping it up. Hmmm. She started walking and her movements looked wasted. Stumbling all over, almost falling. We prevented her from falling off the couch. She had a hard time peeing without falling over. I started freaking out and getting very concerned. We’ve had nearby animals act similar and thought it was distemper.

I tripped balls. Called the emergency vet. We rushed her over and I was very stressed out and thought I was gonna cry.

Eventually we brought her in - explained all of her symptoms, explained about the other animals and what we thought happened.

She asks us if we keep marijuana in the house. Yes we do. Without skipping a beat the technician tells us, “I’m 90 per cent sure this puppy is high.”

It makes complete sense and was something I never even considered for a second. Vet checks it out, basically says very similar things. Says dogs like to eat ash from weed (which we ash on our porch sometimes). The advice was to just wait a couple of hours and it’ll wear off, and protect her from falling in the meantime.

We were sooo relieved you don’t even know, but also felt so stupid. We pay $200 and leave. Puppy sleeps for hours and hours more on the couch and now she’s fine this morning.

Tl;dr- saw our puppy acting strange, took her to the vet in a panic and realized she got stoned as fuck.

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 ...
