TIFU by not being watchful of small kid near cleaner trolley.

I work as cleaner and the trolley that has the sprays, cloths and mop buckets is in a cupboard in the reception section of the primary school. The kids here are around 3 and 4.

I got my trolley and was nearing the door to go out to my section when the dustpan and brush fell off the trolley so I picked it up then the mop fell over. As I was picking them up and putting them back I didn't notice one of the kids dropped his water bottle in the bucket used for the toilets. I think he was trying to get the bottle out and put his hands in the water and putting it in his mouth. The bucket contained disinfectant but had only just been put in so hadn't been used.

When I noticed, I fished out the bottle and that's when the teacher noticed and came over and said not to do that to the kid. Then she told another teacher about it and she was like 😬. She asked me what's in the bucket "chemicals?" and I said "disinfectant". I handed her the bottle and she left with kid who was still putting his hand in his mouth.

I felt very bad about it. I couldn't wait to be outside to pick up the mop cos the mop head was still in the bucket and pole was on the floor and blocking the door from opening.

I hope he doesn't get sick or poisoned from this.

TL:DR Some things fell off my cleaner trolley in the small kids section in school and as I was picking them up I didn't notice a kid playing around in the mop bucket of disinfectant.

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...
