TIFU in friendship

Sorry, English is bot my native language (Here we go rus-eng translator) Today I found myself completely alone in terms of friends. This may sound stupid or something, but I was left without my best friend. That's how it was. I proposed to my boyfriend (now fiance) and we decided to tell our two best friends about it. We decided that rings are not what we would like to mark our marriage with, but earrings are what suits us. A year ago we told both friends that earrings were our option. Therefore, in order to tell about such a joyful event, we decided to show our friends devices for home ear piercing (not the best option, we still think, but at that time we decided to stop there). our friends started shouting at us that piercing our ears at home was not safe and bad (fairly). One of my friends said that she would find us a piercing specialist herself, as long as we didn’t suffer from crap. But we began to hint to our friends that they had misunderstood something. This made them both furious. One left in hysterics that we were so stupid and didn’t want to do what she thought was right. And the other one remained waiting for the outcome, I told her that I had proposed to my boyfriend. and the earrings are our wedding rings. When another friend heard this, she started shouting that she was always the last to know everything (specifically the part about the earrings). But this is not true! My fiance and I were offended by this selfish behavior. Another friend, who didn’t throw a tantrum, told me a couple of days later that I was the one who was wrong about everything. I asked why she was telling me this if our mutual friend acted like a bitch and ruined such an important moment for us simply because of her selfishness.She replied that she was just taking care of her family. I asked how it was, she called everyone her family - that friend, me and my fiancé. But it turns out she lied to me for two years about the fact that I was also her best friend. called her a threat to our common friendship and that only that selfish person is her best friend.My heart is still broken, I have lost my friends, of whom there are so few. And all simply because I decided to defend my borders. In the end, both of them pretend that everything is normal and only come to me when their other friend can't hang out. Or when they need some help. and all the time I felt like I was superfluous, but I didn’t admit it to myself. I just need to talk it out because it really hurts. It's hard for me to make friends and even harder to lose them. What do you think about this situation? and sorry if it’s too unclear and chaotic( TL;DR: I lost my best friend because I defended my personal boundaries in front of our mutual selfish friend. In the end, it turned out that it was this selfish woman who was more important than me. Now my heart is broken and I feel sad all the time(

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 ...
