TIFU by getting more cats

The cats are not the issue (those sweet gremlins are almost never the issue). The thing is, when I was moving into a new apartment, I had previously asked my landlord-to-be would it be ok if I had a cat. He said it was fine, as long as it was only one cat. I managed to forget (probably suppress) that tiny detail.

In the meantime I adopted two more cats. Brilliant on my side, I know. I felt impulsive those two times and never really thought about me having to ask my landlord if that would be ok with him. I knew this coudn't go on forever. But I was always too afraid and paralyzed to let him know. Anxious-avoidant loop from hell. Also not being able to live with myself.

The thing is, the cats didn't create any damage inside the apartment and nothing is destroyed. I take good care of them and have provided lots of scratch posts and fabrics for trimming their claws. I packed all the textile from the owner of the apartment just in case so it doesn't get damaged and replaced it with my own pillows, couch covers, carpets etc.

But, today, the landlord told me he's coming to pay a visit this Friday and I am be-yond speech. My mind is spiralling into forever doom.

Do I hide the extra cats in my wardrobe while he's in the apartment? Do I give them to a friend that day? Or do I do nothing, leave them all in the apartment for him to see and potentially risk getting kicked out for not being honest and respecting his request? FYI I am also poor as fuck and it would be impossible to find another habitat I could afford in the near future.

I feel like the worst, stupidest person. Always too afraid to do anything that needs to be done.

TL;DR: the landlord told me I can have one cat in the apartment I'm renting, I got three instead without telling him. He's coming to visit this Friday. I am paralyzed with fear and my stupid stupid brain.

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 ...
