TIFU by missing the LSAT

Technically didn't miss it, I was at my desk at 9:30, but managed to fuck up every single step this morning.

The writing sample for the LSAT opens earlier than the test so I did that section last week, no problem. Except I thought the program they used for the writing sample was the same as the one for the regular test. Because why check literally any of the instructions in my email? So I was downloading the proctoring program at 9:27am for my 9:30am exam. Fuckup number one.

I get into the security clearance section at 9:36 or something and I immediately get connected to a proctor so I'm thinking alright rough start but it can only be smooth sailing from here.

"Can you show me the front and back of your scrap paper?"

Didn't know I was allowed scrap paper. I was planning on rawdogging this anyways. Fuckup number two.

I go through the room scan and everything and she asks if I know my LawHub username and password so I can access the test. I say yes because I use like four variations of the same password for everything. So I proceed to the test.

Yeah I in fact did not know my password. And got locked out of the account. So they told me to exit and reenter after contacting the help desk. And by the time I was able to get back in it was too late.

So now after all that I'm out $200 and am embarrassed at myself. Hoping schools don't see this massive fuckup of mine and use that to blacklist me. The silver lining to all of this is that I purposefully did not tell anyone I was taking it today, so at least I don't have to explain myself to family and friends. But still, I want to kick myself for wasting my time and money. Now I have to figure out which schools will accept an April LSAT.

TL;DR: Did absolutely every single step wrong and/or late the morning of my LSAT due to just not being a proactive person. Kicking myself.

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 ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
