TIFU by almost reporting my own bank for fraud

Post a Comment

TIFU and micro-dosed my child with raw chicken.

So this happened yesterday.

I work from home and have a mini-fridge in my office space, energy drinks (Celsius) and protein shakes mostly.

A while ago the little door that covers the freezer section popped off. No big deal, right?

Wrong! Slowly, I've been building a mountain of ice in my fridge.

Yesterday I decided enough was enough and figured I'd shut it down, defrost it, and fix the freezer door.

And I did! No issues.

After a few hours, I had a huge chunk of ice left over, maybe 8x6 inches and 1/2" thick. I tossed the wet towels in the washing machine, tossed the hunk of ice in the sink, and went back to work, feeling like I accomplished something.

Husband comes home and decides he wants chicken for supper. He opens a couple packs and pours the excess water (juice?) in the sink.

Yes... the same sink.

He's cooking, I'm working, and the ice is sitting in the dirty chicken-water sink.

Enter the child. 7yo. You'd think she would be old enough to think twice, but no.

She starts EATING THE ICE from the kitchen sink! 🤢 No idea how much she ate, or if it even had the chicken on it, but the potential is there.

Husband catches her when he enters the kitchen from a bathroom break. Immediately freaks out. Sink is scrubbed and disinfected, but it's too late at this point.

Child gets scrubbed with antibacterial soap and strong mouth wash, and a huge lecture about eating out of the sink (or the trash can, just in case🤷‍♀️).

And now we are on watch for any possible diseases or side effects for the next few days. She's made it 26 hours at this point, and still healthy. 🤞🏻

This wouldn't have happened if I would've stayed off the Celsius and just been LAZY yesterday.

TL;DR: I got hopped up on Celsius, defrosted my mini-fridge and threw a chunk of ice in my kitchen sink. Husband drained raw chicken in the same sink, and child ate the contaminated ice. Waiting for food poisoning symptoms.

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 making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
