TIFU by cleaning my new kitchen's induction stove

Just want to start off by saying I am not a native speaker, so if any word choices might sound weird it's probably because of that.

This happened a couple of hours ago and I am still very upset about it. My boyfriend and I moved in together earlier this year and decided to redo the kitchen. Well, the time came and last week our new kitchen was done and we could use it again after 2 weeks of remodelling (we had a contractor do all the work). In the kitchen now we have a new indication stove with 4 hobs. This evening I made Indian dahl with homemade naan bread which I cooked individually in a small frying pan. To fry these I used one of the highest settings and oil, which resulted in the rest of the stove getting a little dirty as well. No problem I thought, I'll just clean it up after dinner.

So when I start to clean the stove, there are some bits really stuck to the stove that don't want to get off. I was freaking out a little bit, because its just new and I thought I ruined it. (I never had an induction stove before). So to try and get the gunk off, I decided to use the rough side of a scouring pad. This helped a bit, so I decided to keep going. When my boyfriend came in he asked if I was using the soft side, i said no, because otherwise the gunk wouldn't come off. This was the moment I knew I fucked up. Suddenly I see all these little scratches from my scouring pad on our brand new induction stove.

Nothing I can do about it now but sad about my stupid brain not thinking before I ruined our new stove. My boyfriend is also very upset, but doesn't want to put it all on me so he is taking some 'me' time. But I just feel so bad and I don't know how to fix it.

TL;DR: I cleaned our new induction stove with the rough side of a scouring pad and now we have a lot of scratches on our new stove. And it's still not clean :(

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 ...
