TIFU by thinking panties in my laundry meant flirting

M37. My apartment complex has laundry rooms. I WFH, so today I went to do my laundry during business hours because hardly anyone is around. I saw a lady roughly my age there, hard to tell because I didn't look at her or acknowledge her outside of a singular nod. I start my laundry.

I fill two washers, leave my laundry bin on the top of one and my dryer sheets on the other for later. I come back after 45m and the dryer sheets are stolen. No one else is using this washroom, no dryers are running, they're not in the trash, and the lady is gone except for her bins. "What the fuck? Who swipes a couple dryer sheets and then doesn't use them?" Very weird, but whatever.

I dry my clothes and set my laundry bin on top of the dryer I'm using. Immediately next to my dryer is the lady's empty bin (on top of her own dryer, which is running -- she's not present). When I pull them out and take them to the apartment, I notice red panties in my stuff.

Here's how I get confused: I know I checked the washer machines because I pulled out an article of clothing from them, and then looked to see if there was anything else. I think I would've noticed some bright red polkadot panties bunched in there. I thought I checked the dryer, because I threw all my wet clothes inside, then remembered "oh shit, my shirts will be ruined if I dry them", so I pulled everything out, sifted through it, and then started the dryer.

So in my brain I'm thinking, one odd thing happened in the proximity of this person, and then another odd thing. [insert butterfly meme here, captioned: 'is this flirting?']

Then I fucked up: I return the panties with a note saying "Next time leave your number. :)"

I go off to my job, work for a while. I feel a little giddy/curious, like you would if a cute person smiled at you in High School. Sure enough, I go to check the mail and make a round-about trip to check the laundry room. The panties are on top of the dryer I was using. The lady left the note and her phone number!

🎉🎉🎉 Score, right?!

I'll be honest, I haven't felt that attractive since pre-pandemic -- now look at me, meeting sexy strangers in the laundry room. 🥳

Ha-ha-ha.

I text: "Glad my penmanship didn't scare you off."

Her: "Are u a fucking child?"

._. ... Oh.

I say nothing. She keeps texting.

Her: "I have no idea who u are take that weird shit somewhere else"

Me: "Geez, sorry lady. You could've just thrown it away!"

Embarrassed of myself, I block her and go back to my day job. Immediately I start getting calls on a different number (probably her husband or boyfriend or dad or some shit). I'm not picking up. I know I fucked up. I know I was wrong to fantasize. I don't need anyone to tell me that. I just need to vent.

TL;DR - I found panties in my laundry after my dryer sheets were stolen, and thought that meant the sole lady there was flirting with me. I left her a note, she left me her number. I texted, she scolded me, and then passed my number to her boyfriend, who is now blowing up my phone. Happy Monday 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 ...
