TIFU blacking out on Valentines

Where do I even start. A month ago I dislocated my shoulder; and it’s been hurting some days so bad I can’t even raise my arm or sleep on it. Working the Valentines shift a coworker gave me some Russian or Ukrainian pain meds and wow! They worked way better than tylenol and gave me some pep with the relief

I covered a shift at work because (single); not expecting any dates. I met a guy; went on 1 date, great. He asks me out for Valentines, second date.

I’m already frantic and rushing. Shift ends at 7; commute home is an hour and I am running from the subway station on slush/ ice/ knee deep snowpiles

It’s 8 by the time I get home and we were supposed to meet at 8:30; half hour away from mine. I text him that I’ll be late I had to shower, get ready and call an uber.

Mistake number one. I took a shot of whiskey at home to calm my nerves before calling an uber. Traffic is crazy due to weather and I’m delayed until 9.

We meet at a market waiting for our supper plans. There’s a bar at the market so why not have a cocktail? (Drink # 2)

We walk over to dinner and grab a martini each (Drink #3). Finishing up the bartender offers a shot of amaro (Drink #4). We head upstairs to the lounge and order another martini (Drink #5) and a shot (Drink #6)

At this point I don’t remember what happened after or what was said besides that I managed to get an uber at 12 and make it home to bed. I wake up the next morning and immediately throw up.

Currently nursing on miso soup and way too embarrassed and ashamed to even text the guy. I’m sure that was hella cringe for him and there will be no future dates.

Oh and fun fact not being able to read the language on the meds; my friend said I shouldn’t have had any alcohol for at least 24 hours. Fuck me

TLDR Fucked up my valentines date second time meeting a guy by mixing alcohol and pain meds

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 ...
