TIFU By Using the wrong kind of soap

Alright, so I, (16nb) have been stuck in my house with my family for the past few days due to ridiculous temperatures and ice on the roads, and ive accumulated just a little bit of cabin fever, the biggest symptom of which has been becoming a bit of a neat freak. So this morning I decided I would get the kitchen cleaned. I got out the dish soap, put some on a damp rag and got to wiping weeks of accumulated condiments off of the counters, but 1 teensy tiny thing got in my way.

Those dreadful, horrible creatures we all hate. AKA Dishes.

So I decided to deal with this issue by shoving everything into the dishwasher while I went off to work, and Continue once I Returned home. And as I already had the dish soap out, I thought that "hey, soap is soap... and I'm cleaning dishes... soooooo..." and Put the blue magical potion into soap thingy idk what I'm supposed to call it.

Now, fast forward 3 and a half hours of yelling at children to walk on the pool deck, and 30 minutes of yelling at shitty drivers, And I walk down the hallway, and into my kitchen to see...

Snow?

It cant be snowing inside right? Of course it cant snow inside. The 3 inches of white coating the floor of my kitchen is a pile of soap suds bigger than I have ever seen in my life. Apparently, putting dish soap in the dishwasher doesnt clean the dishes, but rather floods your kitchen with suds. So here I am, presented with one big soapy disaster in front of me. I've spent the past 30 minutes using a mop and the spray bottle I normally use for my hair to pop all these bubbles and get everything cleaned up. But hey, at least my floor is clean! Same cant be said for dishes, I unfortunately have to redo that :C

​

30 min later update: its broke :C

​

TL;DR: I forgot how to use a dishwasher, and used the wrong kind of soap. Ended up being a waste of my precious time, as the soap overflowed and flooded my kitchen.

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 ...
