TIFU by trusting my body in my sleep - twice.

A couple of days ago, I contracted food poisoning. Things were going well enough, all things considered. At least a good percentage of people might have contracted food poisoning themselves, so you likely know the symptoms - upset stomach, a little nausea (that becomes too much as time passes), diarrhea. The last one was the most prevalent symptom, and it was all liquid. My body was siphoning all the liquid it could from itself and just pushing it out, to the point where it was almost completely water with every bathroom visit. This results in dehydration, and I've been feelings its effects pretty strongly, especially recently.

Last night, I went to lay down so my body could feel a little better. I wasn't intending to fall asleep, but with the way that I lay down, my body has this knack for just passing out. I didn't think much of it, just because I've dealt with bathroom emergencies before and I'm not a heavy sleeper, so if something were about to happen, I can usually get to the bathroom in time.

This was not the case today.

I woke very early this morning after having passed out for about three hours. I could feel cold air on my backside. Something felt wrong, and when I reached behind me to check, I felt an immediate wetness. My body betrayed me and forced me to shit myself in my sleep. The ONLY silver lining to what occurred was that, strangely enough, there was no smell. Mad at myself, I got up and cleaned all that I could, both bed and myself, then padded the wet spot with a towel, then sat down and contemplated my life circumstances at that very moment.

And then, I started to feel a little unwell, which I chalked up to the food poisoning. The thing that usually helped me in these cases of feeling unwell was laying down, so my mind went "Okay. I'll lay down again, but THIS TIME, I'm not going to fall asleep. I can't afford to do that with this shit going on."

So, I went to lay down.

And then I fell asleep.

And then I shit myself again.

After the second cleanup, I literally grabbed a pillow from my bed, went to sit at the computer desk, and fell asleep there, coursing in and out of consciousness as noise played from the speakers. Luckily, it only happened twice and hasn't happened since.

But a close call nearly twenty minutes ago almost painted the whole bathroom. Can't wait for this shit to be done and over with.

TL;DR: Got food poisoning. Decided to fall asleep. Shit myself in my sleep. Woke up, cleaned it, naively went back to sleep and shit myself again. Practice food safety, everyone.

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 ...
