TIFUpdate Assuming i was coping with a Mannequin (version before my partner sent it through chatgpt for grammar and spelling, so technically a repost, but my original version, and i much prefer this one over unhumanly polished version. even if its got shitty grammar. )

A few days ago i(27F) was in marks work wearhouse with my boyfriend(27M), and there's a lot of mannequins there. i have an irrational fear of manniquins, when i was a kid i had to shield my eyes from them but now that i'm older im better at not reacting or acting on the lil fear spikes i get from looking at them and just kind of cope with xyz tactics; anyway, so we were near the front looking at roots stuff, and in the corner of my eye i saw a figure about three feet away from me but partially hidden by more shelves, and i mentally clocked it as "mannequin" and just distracted myself with what else was around me, and then (god i feel so bad) when the "mannequin" moved i actually shreak-yelped. it only lasted a split second (im crying writing this, not sure if its out of amusement or embarrassment) but it was loud enough to make the entire store go completely silent. the poor woman(~20s) was looking at me in shock, i knew i had to tell her exactly why the fuck i did that, so i immediately started apologizing and saying "its not you i promise, im so sorry, i saw you only out of the corner of my eye and i assumed you were a mannequin, im so sorry its not your fault i promise you dont look like a mannequin, im so sorry" and she said it's okay, and seemed taken aback and possibly slightly amused (hopefully). i went over to my boyfriend who was looking at me with a mix of shock amazement and amusement. he said it was funny and i'm almost at the point where i can appreciate the comedic value. , god i feel so bad , i really hope the poor girl knows it wasn't her, it was me.

TL;DR: i thought i was being a champ coping with the fear of seeing a mannequin, then the fucker moved

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 ...
