TIFU by trying to show my cat what I was doing

Okay, so, I am REALLY upset about this. I was painting today, and it was really going okay, but I have a cat who's really rambunctious and likes to invade my personal space. Now, I've moved up to the table to paint (in the past, I liked sitting on the floor and painting, but he'd step on everything and get messy), so I didn't really expect him to really do anything, let alone today because he was really chill. I Was almost finished painting, when he came over to see what I was doing. I looked down at him and said hello, all the normal stuff. I had a paintbrush FULL of bright yellow paint, and I was going to show him so that he'd hopefully stay away, but the paint was runny, unbeknownst to me, and a giant blob of it just dropped on the poor guy's arm and he took off and started running around my house. He left little yellow paw prints all over the hardwood floor and the carpets. I had to WRESTLE him to get ahold of him, and I saw the mess I had inflicted on my poor little boy, bright yellow paint all over his white coat. It was really just on his shoulder, but it was so incredible that that much paint (Not that much) could cover such a large space. I immediately took him to the bathroom so I could clean him off, and I bathed him as best as I could, but I was in TEARS and didn't prepare for this, so it was really hard. I eventually got all the paint off him and we sat on the floor for a while, and I wrapped him up in a towel. I feel so bad for him because I know he hates baths, and I hate giving them to him. I'm shaking right now, I feel so guilty because I didn't know the paint was THAT runny, and I just wanted to show him what I was doing. He's okay now, though, just still drying off. I hope I can just look back on this and laugh.

TL;DR: I accidentally got paint on my cat and had to give him a bath. I am very sad and he will get lots of treats.

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 ...
