TIFU by talking with the wrong dead person...

Hey Reddit this is my firt ever post so I hope you guys have a laugh over my stupidity!!

Ok so I (19F) have a best friend (18M), lets call him Conan, we are very very close and I love him with all of my heart. Unfortunately a cople days ago Conan's brother passed, it was a horrible car accident, he was young, healthy and with his whole life ahead of him. My heart shattered hearing the news, at the end of the day I was somehow close to his brother too, I considered him family, I went to the funeral and to see Conan in this situation hurt more than I thought it would. In the same week it happened I really wanted to go to the cemetery alone to talk to Conan's brother in a way, I don't necessarily belive I have to go there to talk to him but it felt right to do so, but that's the part I fucked up, I asked my mom to drive me there (she also went to the funeral with me), when we arrived we had to go and find his gravestone, after a while we find the place, but we are no sure witch was his, because there was two gravestones without any names, but the difference was that one was covered with A LOT of flowers like it was very recent, but the other one was with less flowers but the grass was a diferent color, meaning it was also recent, mind you that I really thought the one with more flowers was the one but I went to check the name of the gravestone and didn't notice that I was reading the wrong name to a different person, cause the actual gravestone was covered with flowers... So I went to the other one with less flowers and different grass, I wasn't sure at all, but my mom keept saying that was the one, so I just accepted my fate at this point, I was there for at least 15 minutes and went back.

Okay, so two days after that I went do the cemetery again, but this time with Conan, (important detail, his dad was there too to bring us home after we stay there for a little bit) since I went there recently Conan said "Okay you know where he is, show me the way" so I did it, I took Conan to the gravestone with no name on it, and then it took seconds for his dad (that was looking at us from afar) say to us that we were in the wrong gravestone, at that moment I wanted to explode, I couldn't belive that I did that, Conan was laughing his ass off, and at the same time I laughed I also wanted to cry, but seeing Conan laugh was worth it the embarrassment! And if couldn't get worse when we came back to the car Conan's dad also laughed at my stupidity and I still couldn't belive I talked to some random dead person thinking it was Conan's brother!!!

At the end we all belive that doesn't matter where his is he was laughting really hard at me crying over some other random person :)

TL;DR My best friend's brother died and I went to visit him in the cemetery alone and cried over the wrong gravestone. Lol.

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 ...
