TIFU: I accidentally overheard my mom and her boyfriend

Hey Reddit. A week ago today, I moved to my mom’s house because life at my dad’s wasn’t the best. Although I was technically in the house, I did not have my own room yet due to the fact we had to clean out her boyfriend’s old office to turn into my room and buy/build new furniture all the way on their third floor. It was a lot of hard work but it paid off and last night was my first night sleeping in my new bed.
Anyway, last night at around midnight I was woken up by the sound of laughter. Remember when I said that I was on the third floor? My mom and her boyfriend’s room is directly below me. So what if they’re laughing? No big deal. But then it continues… with the occasional bang from something hitting the wall. Then it clicks. I realized that they were doing the devil’s tango. They’re adults and I understand that sometimes you just get an urge and that I can’t really judge. So I brush it off, put on some white noise and go back to bed.
Flash forward to today, we spent another day cleaning, unpacking and organizing the room. Dinner rolls around and instead of joining them, I decided I would stay and organize due to the sheer amount of stuff I have. By the time I get downstairs, they both decide to take a bath. No big deal. While I am fixing myself a plate, I once again hear a rhythmic thumping and moaning, only this time louder because it is above me instead of under me. I am just in shock. Like I know my mom’s boyfriend is a spontaneous person but can you keep it in your pants for more than 24 hours? I am a little scared that this will happen again or even worse on a school night. I don’t want to tell them that they can’t do that because it is their house but also can they be a little more considerate about the people around them? How can I gently tell them that I can hear them without it being too awkward?

TL;DR: When I moved in with my mom, I didn’t realize my room would be on top of her and her bf’s bedroom and I heard them booboyah

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 ...
