TIFU by falling asleep in the shower and flooding the hotel

I am a 17 year old student from the Netherlands and I'm on a 5 day trip to Rome with school. Everything was great, I was exploring the city with my friends, eating out everyday and just having a lot of fun, yesterday me and my friends decided to play some drinking games and get a little fucked up, it was a fun night. But I was irresponsible and drank way too much.

When we went back to our room I got quite sick, I was drunk and had to throw up and i was dizzy and could barely stand. I decided to get into the shower to clean myself up and maybe sober up a little. But I i fell asleep, FOR FOUR HOURS! Nobody noticed that I was still in the shower until someone from a different room walked into the hallway and noticed that the floor was flooded, they saw that the water was coming from our room and quickly woke everyone up.

I got out of the shower still feeling awful and found that the bathroom floor was ankle deep in water, I entered our room and found that is was very flooded too. The water also leaked down and flooded the bar downstairs and caused a lot of damage to the cellar. Me, my teachers, classmates, students from different classes were all mopping up the floor with towels and emptying them in everything that could take water, sinks, toilets, showers, etc.

After at least an hour of mopping the floor like that the floors were dry, but the damage is done, doorframes are curling, floors and ceiling are fucked and everyone knows about it.

My teachers are telling me not to worry and that insurance will cover the damage's, but my feeling of guilt is immeasurable, my teachers and fellow students having to vlean up my mess at 4:30 in the morning, my teachers having to deal with insurance and the hotel and school, and I am terrified of having to deal with my parents and my reputation at school.

I am very lucky that we didn't get kicked out of the hotel and I hope that this will just be forgotten (it probbably won't).

TL;DR: I got drunk and fell asleep in the shower for four hours causing the hotel to flood and caused thousands of Euros in damages and me, my teachers and classmates having to mop up the floor at 4:30 in the morning.

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 ...
