TIFU By going outside to swing in Hello Kitty PJs.

So, I (21F) like to swing in my backyard to decompress. Sometimes I go out in the middle of the day and sometimes I go out at like 9:00 at night when I get off work. My whole family knows and doesn't care. I just sit on the swings listening to music with my earbuds in, drifting off into La La Land. This time was no different. Now I do have to mention it was a bit chilly outside and it was at 9:22 when I went outside. I was only wearing Hello Kitty PJ'S as it was the only warm-est PJs I had at the time. So, I'm swinging for a good 20 minutes when I see my mother come out to check on me. Now I thought it was because the swings were being too loud as they do creek every time I swing or she was telling me to come inside because it was late. No, she just goes back inside so I continue doing my own thing. The nice thing I have to mention is my headphones were on full volume so I couldn't hear a damn thing. She then comes back out and gestures for me to come over to her, and I did. Still assuming my original thought.

Well, it turns out a backyard neighbor called the cops on us! They called the cops concerned that a 10-YEAR-OLD GIRL is outside swinging with no proper winter attire on. Scaring the crap out of my mom because no kid under the age of 14 should be outside. I can't find it she has a 10-year-old nephew but no daughter. She had to walk up to the cops after checking the backyard to tell them that instead of a 10 year old girl, it was instead her 21-year-old daughter. Safe to say she told me to come back outside between laughs.

So apparently me wanting to swing in the middle of the night in Hello Kitty pajamas was calling the cops worthy. Guess next time I have to wear less "kid-ish" attire or put on a coat so we don't have the cops on us again lol.

TL;DR: I went outside to swing in my own backyard in Hello Kitty pajamas as adult. Nosy neighbor called the cops on us thinking I was a child swinging in the dark.

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 ...
