TIFU by drinking micellar cleansing water

TIFU by drinking micellar cleansing water.

EDIT: just so you know, I am fourteen. Please don't call me a moron. Don't mock me, for the love of fucking god. I know it was stupid. It's obvious, I posted this on a subreddit that is called Today I Fucked Up. Man. It's not like I do this thinking makeup remover is OK to drink, that I don't need to go out to drink water. I was scared to go out to have a drink, because I've gotten told off for it before. This story is real BTW. I don't karma farm, stop saying I am. Thank you, and I know I sound whiney and annoying in the comments. These comments also made me cry my eyes out after MONTHS of not crying because of how hard they hit.

This only just happened now, and it's like 12am and I'm worried as fuck. I feel a bit sick and I'm worried I'll throw up my guts.

I get thirsty sometimes, like most people. This time, I got thirsty in my room with nothing to drink. I don't like leaving my room after I say that I'm going to bed, and I've also gotten told off for going downstairs at like, 1am before.

There was a bottle of micellar cleansing water (makeup remover) on my dresser because I usually like to do my makeup like most girls. I saw that it was liquid, that there was a lot of it, and ended up taking a sip. I thought it tasted awful, as it would but swallowed it I also did the thing you do with mouthwash in my mouth because I thought it'd make it better.

I then decided to look on Google to see if it was safe to drink. I saw that it could cause nausea, and maybe even vomiting. On a poison control website. However, I also read that sipping fresh water could cleanse your stomach, so I knew what I needed to do and left my room to go downstairs for some fresh, room temperature water.

I decided to ask a family member that was in the living room if it was OK for me to go downstairs at anytime to eat or drink. He said "well, yeah." so I told him that I was really thirsty and drank makeup remover. He opened his eyes widely and said "Fucking hell." I knew that he was worried. He then told me that I can go downstairs at anytime but need to be quiet so that then I don't wake my mother up. He also asked me if I felt ok.

TL;DR: I was thirsty at 12am and drank makeup remover, found out that it was bad and went downstairs to drink water, then told a worried family member.

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...
