TIFU by messing up food I was cooking at a friends house.

I like to cook for my friends, sometimes at my house and sometimes at theirs. I have a friend couple that I would cook for probably once a month, I would bring something over, cook and clean up after myself. We would play video games and smoke. It's been a few years since I have been over to cook for them because of the last thing I cooked for them. They chose Taquitos (White people taquitos so pretty much flautas) ANYWAYS... I was seasoning the food at the very end before I put the filling in the tortillas; they have an automatic salt and pepper shaker and when I went to use it the batteries died. I thought to myself that's not even a problem! They have a little vial of mixed salt and pepper, I uncorked the patrone bottle and shook it into the food not even thinking about trying the seasoning to make sure.

As soon as I got done shaking the seasoning onto the food I had a bad feeling so I called Kitty over to the kitchen and asked her what was in this bottle. She broke out into laughter and told me it was.... SAND! From her trip to the coast. I was horrified. I can't believe I just put sand in the food! They assured me it was fine and even had me finish making it. I did scoop as much of the sand out of the food as I possibly could but.... it was still in there. They are true troopers because they still ate it and made some jokes but were otherwise unbothered.

I have been too embarrassed to go back and cook for them. I do see Red sometimes and we always have a good laugh about it. I tell them I'm gonna come cook again for them and I will eventually.... but oof.

TL;DR: I was cooking a meal for my friends and ended up putting sand in instead of salt and pepper.

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 ...
