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 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 ...
