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 forgot about it, I left it in that cup of rice for FOUR MONTHS. I just found it again today. I haven't dared to plug it into her or my computer yet because I'm afraid I'll blow something up.

Edit: I cleaned her car afterwards, dont worry. Im not a villain.

TL;DR: I dropped a friend's USB in ice cream, accidentally threw it in the trash, washed it under a faucet to clean it, and then dried it in rice for months.

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 ...

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.
