TIFU by ordering a bunch of Pokémon cards to the wrong address

The title explains a good bit. A little over a week ago I ordered around 19 individual Pokémon cards from eBay, which was after I tried the same thing on TCGplayer twice but both sets of orders were cancelled and I still haven't been refunded ):, and thought I was in the clear. (Along with this was four booster packs which was the only TCG order which went through.)

Only after a conversation with my father did I find out I messed up the shipping address and now most of the orders have gone to the set of houses directly next to me. Immediately after finding out about this I contacted each seller to ensure the few cards that hadn't shipped would be delivered to my place instead. Later that day I drafted up a little hand written note asking if somebody had gotten an excess of packages and envelopes they had not ordered and that those were mine. I gave my name for proof as well as my number and the apt I lived in next to them. I went to the set of houses with the shipping address I put by accident, there was 4 doors and only 1 answered. The entire time there was this fuckass orange cat judging me, It was (I'm pretty sure) the people who owned the whole complex and they were very polite, they immediately took a picture of the note and took me down to check their mailbox to see if they had anything. They didn't have anything in it but told me they would share the note to everyone in that complex and wished me good luck. I was pretty happy with that and decided to wait two days for a response and if I didn't get anything I would go back. two days went by, not a knock or a call came in so Thursday I decided to head back up to the complex to ask other residents directly if they got anything. I knocked on one door and was greeted by a neighbor, they said they saw my note from the couple I saw previous (Emphasizing that they showed everyone in the complex.) and hadn't gotten anything but they would be on the lookout. Its Saturday now and I'm worried, including the individual cards and boosters it was around 50$, I'm in high school and cant just be throwing that money around without getting anything I payed for. I don't want to get in my neighbors business again because I felt like a bother the first time around and they really were great people. How should go about this now? What more could I have done( After the order was made obviously) or should I really be this worried? I also never clarified what was in these packages so maybe they think its some crazy shit IDK.

TLDR; a bunch of cards went to address next to me, the neighbors might think I'm crazy, idk what to do.

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 ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
