TIFU by not checking if the store gave me back the my WHOLE charger

This goes from yesterday into today.

So, for context: I'm a University student, and I need my laptop since all my stuff is on there. A while ago I got the shock if my life when my Laptop stopped charging and wouldnt turn on. Luckily we figured out the issue was the charger, not the laptop, so me, my boyfriend and my mom went to a store whos name I will not name, where we got the laptop from. We still had guarantee.

Now the poor employ had to deal with my mum trying her best to get me a replacement charger for the time being, but they told us they don't have any and that we will have to buy one, and give it back in 28 days, while we still could, and repeat that until the chargers fixed. Sucks, but fine. We go into the store, ask for the charger. They dont have the 15€ charger, only the 40€ other brand one. I still pay for it and we head home. The new charger has a faulty connection and cannot charge when my laptops turned on. I deal with this for 26 days. Fast forward to yesterday, we go in, give the new charger back, and I recieve the old one. I think "Oh this is really light!" and dont think to check it. I sign everything. Today, just 10mins ago, I decided it was time to charge it. I get the charger, look at it.. ..half of it is missing. I honestly laughed out loud because you wouldnt believe how much shit like this happens to me. I am Gods jester, I play for his amusement, and yet again I am put into dumb situations like these. So now I had to call the hotline, and while laughing, explain that "I only got half the charger, could I maybe have the other half back too?".

Funnily enough, they only gave me the fucking part that didnt need fixing anyways. Will I ever get my damn charger back? I dont know. I'm ordering a cheap brand one off if amazon now and learning from my mistakes and will now cry over the weekend I guess.

TLDR: I got my charger back from the shop after needing to get it fixed, didnt check if it was the full charger, and ended up only getting one half of the charger.

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 ...
