TIFU by drowning my friends USB stick twice

This actually happened a while ago, but I just realized how ridiculous my logic was. I was hanging out in a friend's car, minding my own business and eating ice cream. Suddenly, the cup tipped over and melted ice cream went everywhere, including all over my friends USB stick that was lying in the center console. IT WAS SO MUCH ICE CREAM THE STICK WAS SWIMMING IN IT? In a total panic, I fished it out, but my brain short-circuited. I accidentally threw the sticky USB stick into the trash bag along with the empty ice cream cup at home. A few seconds later, I realized what I did and had to go dumpster diving in the trash to get it back. Now, here is the part where I really messed up: To make the USB stick clean, I decided the best solution was to wash the USB stick under RUNNING WATER in the sink. After I did that, I remembered that water and electronics don't mix. So, I did what every internet-trained person does. I put it in a bowl of rice. But because I was so paranoid and fo...

TIFU I tried to print something and failed hilariously

TL;DR: I tried to print one spine label for a requested library book, failed several times, dragged coworkers into the mystery, and then discovered the printer was not plugged into the computer. Once we connected it, it printed every single failed attempt at once. I ended up with a long chain of labels with my name on them and a very humbled spirit. I work in circulation at a local library branch. My job involves a lot of processing incoming and outgoing items, handling patron requests, checking in materials from other branches, sending items out to other locations, and generally making sure books and other materials end up where they are supposed to go. Our library is part of a larger system with many branches, so we have a really useful system that allows patrons to request items from other branches if their home branch does not have them available. When those requested items arrive at our branch, we process them, print a slip or label for them, and place them on the holds shelf ...

TIFU- by eating multiple cans of Pringles and drinking an entire bottle of wine

Tifu by eating several cans of sour cream Pringles and drinking an entire bottle of wine. I have autism and that makes me really picky about food, so my diet is terrible. I’ve also run out of fiber supplements that I usually have every day, and I haven’t had any for weeks. Basically last night, I had more than 2 of those huge cans of sour cream Pringles and I also drank an entire bottle of wine, over the course of the night. Big mistake. I knew my stomach wasn’t doing well but I didn’t think it would be this bad. I sat on the toilet and it felt like a demon was being released. It was genuinely a mountain of hot, soft, green, shit. And it just kept coming. It hurt so badly. I had to flush THREE times during ONE shit (because I used so much toilet paper). And I had to wipe so much that it started making my chocolate starfish feel super raw and dry. At one point, it literally felt like someone was holding a flame to the inside of my asshole. I was shaking, hyperventilating, sweati...
