TIFU: gaslighting, subway, tears, puke lol

I stepped in dog poop on the way to the subway. It was so bad. I was super late though and didn’t even TRY AT ALL to get it off on the street or the grass or anything at all. The smell was….. horrendous. I was on my way to a shoot for a video I was about to be in…. I had to rush and was already so late!!!! I sat next to a woman and accidentally stepped on her bag’s belt that was dragging on the ground. When I stepped on it…. The poop …. Yea… it got on it completely. She smelled something RIGHT AWAY and asked me if I had spilled something. I said “no. I think you stepped in dog shit” and pointed to her belt. She fell silent and I turned beat red. There was a long pause.

She looked down at my shoes and started saying “I don’t think so. I think your boot has something on it.” To which I denied and said NOPE NOPE NOPE.

This woman, freaking GRABS her belt off of the ground, touches the poop onto her finger, brings it to her nose, smells it, and then sticks her finger out to me to smell.. MIND YOU we are on a public subway with people everywhere in NYC!!!!!! I finally break and say “it’s dog sh***”

AS IF SHE DIDNT ALREADY KNOW WHAT IT WAS?!? She freaks out and starts to cry. She wipes her fingers on her COAT and starts to gag in front her of me. She proceeds to baby puke on herself and me. Others recorded around us. The entire interaction is somewhere on YouTube. I took the next stop even though it wasn’t mine. I had another 30 min on the train. Someone chuckled as I got off. I know for a fact that it’s because they knew that I gaslit the hell out of this lady only to have the whole thing blow up even worse on me.

TLDR: Even small white lies can web and royally screw you. You’ll walk away with poop and throw up. And tears. All on you. At the same time.

Am I a bad bad person for starting all this? 😭

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 ...
