TIFU by accidentally buying three shirts while I'm in-between jobs...

Okay, so I'm in between jobs, but I do have a source of income with crafting (I have a couple IRL sales coming up and sell some stuff at a coffee shop). I also don't have the best money skills yet. On to the fuck up.

I wanted to order a limited edition long sleeve shirt of my favorite character because 1) I need new long sleeve shirts, and 2) I don't buy much Christmas stuff and they weren't going to restock him.

Okay, fine, here's more context: it was a $40 shirt, I only had $45, I don't believe it was a 'designer shirt' because it's not that fancy.

So to save money, I did the pay in four parts thing through PayPal. I thought it didn't go through, so I tried a couple more times. Turns out I accidentally pre-ordered three shirts and my dumbass didn't know.

Cut to me checking my bank account. Yep, ordered three fucking shirts.

I tried to cancel two of the orders through PayPal, but they kept giving me ai to talk to. I sent an email to the company I ordered the shirts from, so hopefully I'll get the money back.

Moral of the story, check your bank account to see if an order happened.

TL;Dr, I accidentally ordered three shirts through PayPal pay in four parts thinking it didn't go through the first time. Check your account after doing a pay in four parts thing so you don't fuck up like me.

Edit to add: I just wanted to vent my stupidity, I didn't ask for people pointing out the obvious. I clearly learned my lesson. Yes, this is a repost, I didn't like how I did the original one and decided to make one I felt was better.

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 ...
