TIFU by moving a hose

This morning as i was going to leave for work i went to move a hose so i wouldn't drive over it and it snapped off the wall and sprayed water for like 20ish minutes. I had to run upstairs and ask my boyfriends friend who's visiting with us (but I've barely interacted with) for help and because its a townhome we didnt know where the valve is and the water kept spraying for a good 20ish minutes until i figured it out and he turned it off. My boyfriends at work and unavailable so we couldn't call him and his roommate that was home went looking for someone to see if theres a maintenance number for the complex. But being that its a townhome, there isnt one and so i called my mom &grandpa and theyre making an hour drive to me to try to fix it. I called into my job to let them know what was going on and broke down on the phone, but theres been a lot of callouts so they need me to come in as soon as i can. I just want to stay home and work on my assignments but i have to make right my fuckup. Oh, and the friend needed to borrow my gate key for an hour but hasn't come back yet and i need that to let my grandfather into the complex. Im hoping he gets back in time before my grandpa gets here.

TLDR; i moved a hose and it snapped off the wall at my boyfriends place while hes at work. I cant get off work bc of other callouts.

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 ...
