TIFU by leaving my personal items on my bed.

So today is a semi busy day and with that I (26f) was rushing to get out of the apartment and get things done. With all the chaos of the morning I didn’t bother picking up and I just headed out. Figured I would clean up later and I live alone so no big deal.

Around lunch time I get a call from the front office notifying me their pest control guy is starting in my building as they do every quarter and just said ok and didn’t think past it. Mind you I’ve let this guy in when I’ve been home before so we also chit chat and he will get extra spots if I need it. He’s like my parents age and always really polite and helpful. Point being he knows me on a customer level.

I get home not long after to let my dog out and walk into my room and to my amusement (utter shock) I left my toys out to dry from earlier this morning… along with my iPad… and headphones… and my underwear… all laying there on my bed. There was no wondering what happened in that room before he got there.

Now Im hoping I never run into him again when he eventually gets called back or I’ll have to literally hide my face for ever. Luckily they send out a notification prior on the community app which I will be checking more frequently from here on out.

TL;DR: The pest control guy came into my unit while I was gone and I left my magic tools out in the open.

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 ...
