TIFU by eating chocolate covered pretzels

TIFU by admitting it was my dog’s poo the yellow lab ate.

I (M 49) have a very small dog. She is only 4 lbs, I walk her frequently and ALWAYS pick up the little turds. TIFU by running out of poo bags that I have attached to the leash. My dog did her thing and when I realized I was out of bags, I decided to make a mental note of where it was and walk about 20 yards down the path to a dog waste station that has a roll of plastic bags. As I returned to pick up the poo, a lady about 65 years old, walking a yellow lab and talking on her phone, approached the spot where my dog left her poo. The lady stops right next to that spot, talking on her phone. I was approaching to ask her to move a little so I could pick up the turd and then it happened. Just as I said, “Excuse me….” her dog ate the turd. One gulp. It was gone. She looked annoyed with me and asked “Yes, what do you want?!” Standing there with the poo bag in hand, ready to pick it up, I replied (and here’s where I really f***ed up), “Oh never mind. I was going to pick up my dog’s poop but it looks like your dog took care of that!” She flipped out and started prying her dog’s mouth open, yelling at me and generally making a scene. I was chastised for not picking up the poo and I explained I was returning to get it etc.. I apologized and started to leave. She then said, “WAIT! I need to see your ID! YOU are going to pay for my dog’s vet bill! I’m calling the police!” I told her I’m sure her dog will be fine (every Labrador I’ve ever known eats poop almost daily). I left and walked home. I remained calm but I wasn’t going to hang out with her going crazy. About 15 minutes later, I got a knock at my door. It was the police! I discussed the situation with the officer. Apparently the crazy lady followed me so she knows where I live. (Great!) She actually called 911 about this. The officer said he didn’t see any criminal violations so he was just going to file a brief report and be done with it. He laughed a little with me and maintained his professionalism despite a rather odd 911 call response. Hope I don’t get sued!

TL;DR : a yellow lab ate my dog’s poo. The owner got mad and called the police.

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...
