TIFU by ordering $200 worth of vibrators

This actually happened this past Black Friday but I got the package today. A creator I watch semi-regularly had partnered with a sex toy website and hosted a giveaway. I'm only human, my electric toothbrush can only "do it" for me so much, so I applied. I ended winning a $250 gift card which I found to be a steal, because combined with the Black Friday discounts it meant I could get some normally pricey items for basically nothing. I ended up choosing two different vibrators and even won a third for free because the order was over a certain price. So I checked out, feeling pretty good about the basically not-purchase and knowing I'd be feeling even better in the future. However, that basically came crashing down when I saw the order summary. There was a $200 dollar charge despite the fact that the products I'd ordered only added up to be in-budget with the money on the gift card. So I looked closer. So I looked closer. The best I can figure is that I misclicked/clicked too many times, because instead of having three different vibrators, I had five vibrators, three of which were the same.

I didn't freak out at first. I'd literally just placed the order, so you'd think I'd be able to cancel it. Right? Well apparently this company packages and ships their products instantly because they had a no-cancel-no-returns policy. I can understand the no-returns policy - why is god's name would a store take back a used sex toy? - and to their credit the store did ship my order within a few hours, but that now meant that I have $200 worth of vibrators I had no intention of purchasing. The whole point of this giveaway was so that I could get free vibrators. Not to mention that my mom could potentially see the charge to my bank account (our accounts are connected because I still live at home and we use the same bank). Not that I think she'd go looking, but on the off chance sees the charge and gets curious because I rarely spend $200 at once (I still live at home).

I guess the best thing for me to do is try reselling what I didn't mean to order. I know it's the holiday season but there's no one in my life I could give a vibrator without dying of embarrassment. They came shipped in plastic wrap that I haven't opened so there'd be no worries about the hygiene. I'd just have to figure out how online selling works and shipping costs. And also hope that anyone would risk buying a technically second hand sex toy.

TL;DR: I misclicked on a sex toy website and ended up with $200 worth of the same exact vibrator

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 ...
