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 By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
