TIFU making instant noodles - help needed

Lunchtime snack today, I started pouring hot water into a cup of Chicken Noodles

As I was pouring the water, I smiled and looked at my chickens and said "Hey Look - Chicken Flavoured ! my favourite !" ... which was meant to convey to my chickens how much I loved anything to do with chickens, their day to day care, their thoughts, feelings and life goals.

Didnt quite go as planned. They looked at me sideways, and said "Chicken Flavoured ? How do you people KNOW what Chicken tastes like ??? Hey ?"

I feel like my relationship with my chickens might be permanently damaged, after letting these words slip, even though the intent was genuine and delivered with care. It doesnt matter that the "flavouring" content is just herbs and spices, and doesnt necessarily contain any actual chicken content. It's just flavouring after all.

But still - fair enough. Imagine if dog food promoted "Human Blood Flavoured" varieties ?

Does anyone know how long do Chickens tend to remember things ?

I know for example that Elephants have long memories, so that might explain why "Elephant Flavoured" noodles are not a thing. But then Goldfish are notorious for short memories, and there is no "Goldfish Flavoured" noodle on the market either, so maybe its not that..

Im hoping the chickens will forget about this unfortunate episode in a few days. In the meantime, I have covered up the labels on anything in the pantry that mentions "Chicken Flavoured"

TL;DR: Chickens misunderstood my comment, wondering how long it will take for the incident to blow over and be forgotten.

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 ...
