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 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 ...
