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 getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
