TIFU by locking my whole family out of their house..

So i 17f live with my big brother and mother. Today my mother went away for an eye operation and my brother is at work.

So i was about to shower so keep in mind I was wearing a bathrobe with nothing but a bra, sweatpants and socks. My stupid self decided to smoke a cigarette and obviously i closed the door because i literally grabbed my key the second before i walked out that door.I saw my mothers key sitting in the lock on the inside and at that moment i didn’t think anything of it.

But then the realization hit me only after trying the key on my door. My mother never let her key sit there so i wasn’t thinking before.. i tried looking for windows but they were all closed as it is raining here.

I basically asked a friend of my mom’s to come and pick me up as she lives really close. Now i sit there sipping a coffee realizing how dumb I am. My mother came here now and my brother apparently took half a day off.

We also don’t have money for a locksmith so it’s my fault that now no one can enter our house now unless we break the whole damn door down-

TL;DR I went outside closing the door behind me but mom’s key was on the inside of the lock so no one can enter unless we break the door down.

UPDATE; the door is somewhat still intact, i basically pushed the key to the inside which took me about 4 hours😂

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 ...
