TIFU by clogging a public toilet

Today was quite the stressful day for me. I had a big train journey and ended up missing a train, which ruined my schedule for the rest of the day.
After I managed to get new connection tickets, I had a problem though. Stress can make my stomach pretty upset and exactly that was happening.
Alright, so off to the bathrooms I was. There was a cleaning lady going through both of the gendered bathrooms regularly and both bathrooms had a queue. When I finally got to a stall, I used a wet wipe to wipe down the seat, despite it being cleaned just before by the cleaning lady. Idk, otherwise it just feels weird for me to sit down. Usually I throw my wipes into the trash, but this bathroom didn't seem to have one? Which is pretty weird, as I was in the womens room and where would you be supposed to dispose of your period products?? But okay, I decided to just throw the wipe into the toilet since I really didn't want to put it into my pocket or be an ass and throw it on the floor.
My bowel movements were honestly record wise. I really don't know what happened, but I guess the stress really did something to me there, haha.

But then came the flushing. I don't know if it maybe was the person before me in the stall who just managed to hide it. I don't know if it was my wipe. I don't know if it was the biggest poop of my life. But the toilet was clogged.
I'm in my 20s and I've never clogged a toilet before and man, I was panicking. I flushed like 4 times and most of it managed to get down after a while, just some paper and a raised water level stayed.
When I entered the cleaning lady had been on the womens stall side and I was absolutely terrified that she would come in right after I left. I don't know how I got the courage, but at some point I exited, did the quickest hand wash of my life (which was a shame, as I like getting a good hand cleaning when I'm out in public) and as I was washing my hands, this older woman and her friend or daughter entered and my stall had been one of the first.... I saw her look into it, turn to her friend/daughter and she said something about how "there's something in there". I don't think she saw me leave that stall, so I don't think anyone noticed it had been me.

Thankfully the cleaning lady had switched to the mens side when I exited. God, I was glad to be out of there.
But I also feel absolutely awful about clogging the toilet. Like, damn, I've never done that before. And I just feel soooo horrible, I'm so sorry the cleaning lady had to deal with that and that maybe one or two people saw the destruction I left behind. But I really couldn't bring myself to yell across both stalls with queues in the front "hey I just clogged your toilet, k bye!!!"
I really needed to talk about this somewhere, I can't just text my friends like "hey I clogged a public toilet today, and ran away like a coward."
On one hand I'm also almost amazed by myself. I'm pretty small and sleder and usually that's represented by what comes out of my body. Except for today. But damn why did I have to clog a toilet with it??????

I think this is going to keep me off from pooping in public restrooms for a while.

TL;DR: Had a massive poop in a busy public bathroom, clogged the toilet and left before anyone really noticed what happened. Feel really bad about it. :(

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 ...
