TIFU by assuming building meant building

So today, literally 4 hours ago this all went down.

I (23F) had a drug test for a dream job, one that would get me out of my current job, set me up with a whole new career, the whole shabang, I’ve done one test before back in high school but this was my first “professional” one.

My partner and I went in to the office building where the lab is, I went in and was unable to…provide a specimen…so they said that I had three hours, I could drink maximum 12 oz of water, and to not leave the building, I said got it and went out to see my partner, the lobby was really cramped since people started coming in and I thought it’d be best to go to the hall and pace a bit to get stuff moving, I’ve heard movement helps you pee.

I go back inside and the woman takes me back and tells me it was a refusal to submit, I ask what do you mean and she says that I left the building, I told her I hadn’t, I was in the hallway, and she said nope you left the building. I didn’t argue and that’s what she sent off.

I went back to my car and sobbed for like2 hours because I thought everything was over and I called my mom and she said to pay for my own test to be done so there is written proof of a negative drug test on the same day as the refused one.

$170 later I took the other one and sent an email to my recruiter who doesn’t seem to answer phones (???) and reached out to the third party in charge of background checks. They said they’d write it in the report because they were sent my results from the lab but that the employer has to be okay with it being a test submitted by my hand.

My argument is that she should’ve said lobby and not building, the word office works too, there is even camera footage of me just walking in the short hallway outside of the door.

So now it’s in gods hands and I’m freaking out but there’s really not much more to do ¯_(ツ)_/¯

TLDR: Left the room of a drug test and now I could lose a dream job.

Also please don’t roast me too harshly, it really was a mistake I just get pee shy under pressure

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...
