TIFU Ordering an anniversary gift for my gf

Next month my girlfriend and I will be together for exactly one year. When we were just a few months together I gave her a silver bracelet for her birthday and then when we were 6 months together a little charm shaped shaped like a heart, to go on the bracelet. In about two weeks we'll be on vacation together and we'll be having our 1 year anniversary while on this vacation.

I wanted to be sweet and decided to order another charm for on her bracelet. After searching the website where i got the bracelet and previous charm from, I found a charm that would go nicely with the one she already had from 6 months together. For a little bit extra you can have it engraved and so i decided to let them engraved "1 year" on the front and the date that we'd be together for exactly on year on the back.

Here comes the FU, after ordering, I instantly get a confirmation email and notice the date is wrong. I had accidentally used this month (08) instead of next month (09). So now it's not the date that we're 1 year together but it's the date that we were 11 months together.

They also explicitly mentioned that items can not be cancelled after recieving the confirmation email. They can be returned up to 14 days but not if they're custom engraved items.

To make matters worse, because of my job I'm out of phone signal range for a few days so i can't call customer support to ask then to cancel the order or change the engraving. I do have wifi so I've sent them an email, asking them to correct the date on the engraving. Hopefully they'll read it in time and do something better it gets engraved.

For now I'm just here pondering my mistake and hoping they'll read the email in time.

TL;DR: ordered an engraved piece of jewelry for an anniversary and put the wrong month in the date that they'll be engraving.

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...
