TIFU and it all started with a door

I bought a 80 x 32 inch door hoping it would fit in my 2023 Camry. I was skeptical but I went ahead and bought it and it fit perfectly with the seats folded down. So if anyone is wondering, you CAN fit a whole door in your Camry as long as you have short legs. I don’t, so my drive home was awkward and totally worth it. I got the door to replace my garage door so I could add a cat door. During all my excitement, I forgot to lock my car. (Live in the suburbs of Austin). Then my dumbass cut a hole in the top of the door instead of the bottom, so now I have a nice door with a properly installed cat door and a giant hole at the top :). icing on the cake…the one night I forget to lock my doors, someone rummaged through my car, took my credit card and approximately $60 cash, spent almost $400 at Walmart on chocolate milk, makeup, men’s pants and shirts, 2 $105 gift cards, and I’m pretty sure they stole my AirPods. Kicker is I was in the garage around the time I think this happened, I stay up late…and while I was in there I swear I heard leaves crunching and voices outside, but thought maybe it was someone walking by talking on the phone at 1am?? Dumb..Probably a sign for me to check if my car was locked. PROBABLY the person in my car telling their friend they finally found someone dumb enough to leave their card door open. Hindsight is 20/20. I’ve always had an issue leaving my stuff in my car because I don’t carry a purse. Will definitely be working on that. The worst part for me personally was I had two red tail hawk feathers I found over 7 years ago, I kept these in my console and they broke one in their rush to steal my things, maybe that’s silly, maybe I’m weird. What a great day!

P.S. fu to the person who did that, I’ve tried all day to stop myself from setting up some kind of booby trap, but unfortunately they are all illegal :) I hope your chocolate milk is spoiled, and it spills all over the new pants you bought. I hope you went to another store, loaded up your cart and tried to check out and it got DECLINED. I’m sure that’s why you got the gift cards tho, so what’s better… hmm Idk any suggestions would be helpful for my mental state.

TL;DR fit a door in my car, sawed a hole in the wrong spot, left my car unlocked, things are stolen.

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 ...
