TIFU by washing very important paperwork

Today I fucked up by deciding to wrap my girlfriend's diamond earrings. I took out the paperwork that showed the cut, clarity, color, etc. It looks sloppy in the box, so I put it in my sweatshirt pocket knowing I would just give it to her later. So then, we went out for dinner and I changed out of the sweatshirt. I had thrown the sweatshirt in the dirty laundry, and when I came back from our date, I grabbed the dirty laundry and threw it in the wash. Later on in the evening, I transitioned the clothing from the washer to the dryer. After the dryer was finished, I noticed a bunch of ripped and torn paperwork in the lint trap. My girlfriend was downstairs dying her hair, and So I asked her if she had maybe left some paperwork in her clothing that I had taken out of the dryer. She said no. So then I started to look at the paperwork, and as I started to open up the part that was legible, I realized it was the certificate for the diamond earrings. I yelled loud as hell "noooo, I'm so fucking stupid." My girlfriend stop when she was doing, and ask me what was wrong. I told her I couldn't tell her right now, and then I immediately tried to contact the company, but of course they are closed and won't be open until tomorrow. I'm hoping that they have my paperwork on file or at least a digital copy that I can provide her. I don't know if it even matters, but to me it does because I want her to know that her diamonds are her diamonds. She could tell I was overly upset, and she kept asking what's wrong, but I told her she'll know after Christmas. TL;DR I ruined paperwork for the proof of expensive diamond earrings I purchased.

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 ...
