TIFU by investigating houses with no windows

So this happened today... I was going to a friend place but I arrived early and he wasn't there. I should wait for 15 minutes because he went for grocery shopping.

I decided to walk around to kill this time, and while walking I saw a building with no windows... absolutely 0 windows in a residential area.

For me it was impossible and wanted to check if they have windows in the other side, went from the left side no window but the road was blocked (dead end) same when I went investigating the right side no window but couldn't reach the front side because there was a main road leading to a highway.

I went back again to the initial place and stopped to think about the next steps. and 3 police show up :

- Good afternoon Sir ! what are you doing here ?

- Nothing special just walking

- Ok ! but why did you stopped ?

Now this is where TIFU, because I really wanted to give them a useful answer but I couldn't explain why I stopped... so I told them calmly :

- Sorry Sir, but I didn't understood your question.. I was walking and I don't know why I stopped. It just happens, my brain told me to stop, maybe I was tired of walking or I just wanted to stop and think...

They were looking at me like I am an idiot and one of them said that my behaviour is suspicious walking back and fourth and then stopping.

Seriously I didn't understood what's the problem... But I decided to explain everything from the beginning, visiting a friend, building with no windows which is strange in residential area, my investigation and walking to the left to the right of this building and then I stopped and I can't explain why I stopped.

And then they explained to me that it's a military barracks and I should'nt stay here.

Everything started to make sense and felt like a dumb not understanding their questions lol And of course I left immediately with embarassement 😂

TLDR : I walked ~10 minutes around a building with no windows, Police stopped me.. Turns out it was a military barracks. I also told Police that I can't explain why I stopped.

Edit : Spelling + wrong translation of Military Barracks. I translated it as Military base in the first post

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 ...
