TIFU by accidentally making my friend think I was making fun of her

So I had this friend who suddenly got mad at me because she thought I was making fun of her over a 2-point deduction on her score. The thing is, I didn’t even realize she was already irritated at that time. From my perspective, everything was normal and I had no idea she was upset.Then at one point, I tried to grab her (just casually, not aggressively), but she forcefully pushed my hand away. She looked annoyed and said, “Why are you making a big deal over just a 2-point deduction?” That honestly caught me off guard because I didn’t even think I was making it a big deal.I was confused and thinking, “Wait, what? Why is she mad at me?” I didn’t even get the chance to explain myself properly. But instead of asking what was going on, my pride kicked in. I got defensive and just thought, “Whatever, I don’t have time to deal with this.” After that, she completely ignored me, and now I’m left confused about what actually happened. I feel like it was just a misunderstanding, but things escalated because neither of us handled it well. Now I don’t know if I should try to fix things or just let it go.

TL;DR: I didn’t realize my friend thought I was making fun of her over a small score deduction, she got mad and pushed me away, I got defensive instead of explaining, and now she’s ignoring me. I mean whatever if she's still ignoring me tomorrow FO it is.

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 ...
