TIFU by eating chocolate covered pretzels

TIFU by leaving a pan out and caught my house on fire

Bro fuck this day, and I hate my god damn dogs sometimes, and I even hate myself for not taking the 2 seconds to put the pan away. Enjoy my pain.

Last night I made dinner and I had a tiny Dutch oven that I cooked it in. After I took it out of the oven, it was super hot so I let it cool down in the far right corner of my stove. When I have hot pans, I push them close to the backsplash towards the back of the stove because I have dogs who like to counter surf and I try to avoid them licking hot pans especially (I do not need a vet bill over a burnt tongue). I tried to remind myself to come back down and put it in the sink, but sleep came first and when I left for work early this morning I had forgotten about it. It only had a suuuuppppeeerrr tiny bit of juices from my meat in it, barely anything. Important.

I have a camera in my living room to keep an eye on my dogs throughout the day, for they aren’t crated and are usually very good out by themselves. We (husband and I) go out of our way to double check that we have clear counters before we leave the house, in order to try and avoid any accidental ingestions. So we looked on the cameras this morning and we noticed that our one dog was barking incessantly. It wasn’t like him, so we kept checking to keep an eye on him. 20 mins later, our other dog is barking too, at something that we can’t see on camera. 25 mins later, we check and the fucking smoke alarm is going off.

My husband calls 911, I race my way from work to our house, so I’m able to get there in 20 mins and him in 40. The fire department beat us there, broke my door down, put the dogs in the backyard and was airing out my house by the time I pulled up.

THESE STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS, these fucking dogs TURNED ON MY STOVE BURNER WITH THE PAN ON IT ON FUCKING HIGH while they were trying to counter surf to lick it clean. The tiny bit of juices were enough to burn and catch on fucking fire, CATCHING MY STOVE SEASONINGS ON FIRE, and leaving a hell of a mark.

Everything is okay, very very minimal damage, but enough to have plastic melt all over my stovetop, so I’m pretty sure I need a new stove, and I got some pretty heavy soot marks above my stove that I’m finding a way to clean.

Bro, they’ve never turned on the stove before. This is actually insane, and now I have to go get fucking stove childlocks for my two dumb ass dogs.

TL;DR my dumb ass dogs turned on the stove while counter surfing, turned a burner on high that had last nights dinner pan, causing a small fire in my kitchen. Fuck these dogs

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...
