TIFU by spending 4 hours deep cleaning my car to sell it for rent money just or a pipe to burst in my garage and destroy it

honestly i am just so done with today and i feel like the universe is literally laughing at me at this point. i have been struggling with my finances for a while now and i finally made the hard decision to sell my car because i really need the money for my rent and some bills that have been piling up. i spent my whole afternoon scrubbing every single corner of that car. i mean i was out there with a toothbrush cleaning the air vents and everything. i wanted it to look brand new so the buyer wouldn't have any reason to try and talk me down on the price.

i finally finish around 7pm and the car looks incredible. i park it in its usual spot in the garage and go inside to finally get a shower and relax. not even ten minutes into my shower i hear this absolutely massive crash from the garage. i literally jumped out of the shower and ran out there in my towel because i thought someone had crashed into the building or something.

come to find out a major pipe in the ceiling right above my car decided that today was the day it wanted to give up on life. the ceiling is completely gone and my car is buried under a mountain of wet drywall and this disgusting rusty brown water sludge. the inside was a bit open too because i was letting the leather cleaner dry out. it is a complete disaster and there is no way i can fix this in time. the buyer is literally supposed to be here at 8am tomorrow morning and i have no idea what to even tell them. i actually want to cry lol.

TL,DR: i spent four hours deep cleaning my car to sell it so i could pay my rent but then a pipe burst in my garage and covered the whole thing in rusty sludge and drywall right before the buyer was supposed to show up.

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...
