TIFU and deleted an 80$ crypto-wallet

So, I had an LTC cryptowallet on my PC, but wanted to switch to mobile wallets after I realized that Im not gonna have enough space on my drive for a blockchain, so I just wanted to delete it, then transfer my coins.

Just how fucking ridicilous that is, I had no experience in crypto, but an urge to buy something (something legal!) that the seller would only provide with crypto-payment, so while I managed to top it up with no problem - I still had little knowledge on how exactly is the data stored and accessed, so WITHOUTH HESITATION I wiped the whole fucking data folder, thinking that it contains solely the blockchain files, but once it came to coins withdrawal I realized that I no longer have the wallet data and therefore the private key needed for transactions and access to the wallet in general.

I started shaking like crazy, thats expected I didn't just uninstall some dependency files, I just pressed the fucking "delete my money" button. Kept desperately trying to recover it for 5-6, and then just gave up.

Swear this shit will keep replaying in my head for a long time. 80$ is not much.. for an employed person. I'm still at school and still financially dependant on my parents, getting only weekly allowances of 10-15$ for "essentials".

But there is also some (positive?) impact it made on me. Only now I realized two things:

  1. I need a job, and 2) I need to finally grow the fuck up, use my head, especially when managing something like that on my own.

I found myself a sidehustle to get these miserable 80 bucks back, but its funny how my lazy ass needed as much as this sort of fuck-up to start earning for myself.

TLDR: Tried to get rid of the crypto blockchain and deleted the wallet data file while instead.

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 Accidentally taught my 4 year old nephew the word chlamydia

So I very awkwardly taught my nephew, the word chlamydia the other day and not in the way that you would think… It was actually very innocent. I was with one of my sister’s friends and my friends who’s become part of the family and I was telling her about an interesting fact, not thinking about how my nephew was right beside us. I told her did you know that koalas can get chlamydia and that they can give it to humans… just a fun fact… and then he who can barely say clear words most of the time clearest day said koala chlamydia so that happened And he went to his grandmother’s house today, so I’m kinda hoping he doesn’t say that, but at the same time I would die laughter and about pee my pants if he did because holy crap, how do you react to that? TL:DR I shared a fact about koalas and my nephew hung on to two words from the sentence. Those two words which he repeated were koala chlamydia.

TIFU by asking guy (28F) I (26 F) have been on 5 dates with where we stand.

So, I (25F) have been on five dates with this guy (28M). We were supposed to meet on Friday, but he said he might not be able to or would have to meet quite late, which frustrated me because we only see each other once a week, and we hadn’t met the previous week. Frustrated, I told him, "I think I’m done. It was nice hanging out with you, but I can’t deal with this scheduling issue." He later got back to me and said he could actually make it at our originally agreed time. We went on the date, had a great time, and the next day he texted saying he enjoyed seeing me again. I responded that I did too but also mentioned that the scheduling issue was frustrating. He agreed, and I asked if he wanted to see me again. That’s when he said he’s not sure what he wants in life right now. The thing is, I’m also unsure about what I want in life at the moment. Looking back, I don’t know why I asked such a big question when I’m still figuring things out myself. Everything feels uncertain ...
