This actually happened last summer, but planting my garden today reminded me of it. I bought some Tabasco pepper plants at Lowe's. Planted them, watered them. Thought the peppers looked a little odd. Oh well, never grew Tabasco peppers before, what do I know. Fermented them and made Tabasco sauce. Used it liberally in a big pot of chili. Couldn't even get past 3 bites. I was not fast enough to warn my wife and son, they'd already dug in. Turns out those peppers were mislabeled. They were Thai dragon peppers. Instead of Tabasco sauce, I'd created distilled essence of hellfire and unleashed it upon my entire family. We spent the rest of the night fighting over the bathroom and eating tums like

This is still really recent and technically I haven't gotten the rejection email yet but I am still embarrassed.

I've been currently in the running for a job that is within my skill set, like almost a perfect fit for me. It's for an industry I am very familiar with and even is in the right location for me commute wise.

I did the first interview with the CFO and he LOVED me. He said I had a great personality and that I would be a perfect fit for the team skill wise, but wanted me to meet with my future surpervisors to make sure I had the right synergy for the team.

Here's where I fucked up, the second interview was scheduled the same day I was supposed to go

This evening our Ring Camera went off that someone was in the alley behind our house. (Our backyard opens into the alley so we have a camera on the outside.) When we checked it, we saw someone breaking into our neighbors storage closet in the back of their house. We watched on our Ring camera for the 10 minutes it took to call the police (yes we were on hold for that long) and for the 20 minutes it took for a cop to show up and the intruder did not leave the closet. The police came to our house (on the other street as the house in question) so they went through our backyard to the alley to check on it.

They called the guy out, which got the homeowner's attention. From what we could te

So I decided to try out a new recipe from NYT cooking as I usually do since their recipes are easy enough to follow and are flexible enough to where I can add or sub stuff in if needed. Well, I usually am confident enough in the kitchen to follow a recipe with it in front of me without looking too too closely. I just keep the recipe in front of me to make sure I'm cooking in the right order. Well today I wanted to try out this chipotle-honey chicken tacos that is all made in an instant pot, since it looked like I can just throw everything into the instant pot and its done. Well here's where I highkey fucked up. So in the ingredients list, it listed canned chipotles in adobo,

So, back in November '24, I got into a bad car accident. Due to the hospital not giving me proper home care instructions, negligence, my hand developed dead tissue resulting in my second degloving and a skin graft. I've posted my updates on my Facebook for family and friends.

Since the accident, I've been doing physical therapy to regain full function in my left hand. Unfortunately, my left index finger refuses to fully bend into a full fist. Normally, the physical therapist will tape my hand into a fist as part of my therapy. However upon the most recent evaluation, my index finger is the only finger that refuses to bend in. As a result, this time, they only taped my le

Met a really nice, successful guy recently. We planned a fancy-ish date. I wanted to look put-together and effortless, you know? Naturally, the universe said: Not today, Satan.

Morning of the date, I realized all my flats were either packed away or destroyed by a previous mud-related incident. Panic mode: activated. Mom offers me her boots. In a rush, I grab them without a second glance, trusting the process. (Mistake #1.)

Arrive at the venue. Big, upscale place. The guy’s running about 5 minutes late. I get up to move towards the center point and... THUD.

Everyone turns. I look down. My entire sole has fallen off. Like a dead fish flopping across the fl

We had a fuse pop yesterday. Didn't think much of it, it does happen from time to time. Went and reset it, went back to my life, but a bit later I noticed that the dryer wasn't working. Nothing but beep beep beep when I press the start button.Two possible causes - one, the door sensor is not registering that it was closed (since it does the same beep beep thing whether door is open or closed). Two the power cut was caused by an overload of some kind, and google suggested there should be a reset switch in the back somewhere.

Well first it had those stupid bloody six pointed star shaped screws, for which I have no screwdriver. Went to the hardware store, came back later. Started tak

In one of my WhatsApp groups, a member shared the sad news that someone had recently passed away and that they were holding a memorial service for her, along with an invitation photo. Last night, I accidentally reacted with a laughing emoji on the post, and I only noticed it this morning.

I quickly changed my reaction and sent a personal message to the person explaining that it was a mistake. I'm feeling really embarrassed because my reaction was the only one besides a caring response, and it must have been visible to everyone who saw the invite.

TL;DR: I accidentally reacted with a laughing emoji on a WhatsApp post about a memorial service. I noticed it the next

The end of the work week! And Boss man catered in sandwiches for the whole department, Yahoo!

Lunch time rolls around and I make my sandwich plate (Roast beef, turkey,ham,cheese,lettuce, and onions) and I decide to go eat lunch in my car because along with the Friday treat of free food, we also got an extended lunch break.

Half way through my awesome free sandwich I decided to take the onions off and set them on my paper plate. Timer goes off I grab my drink and head back inside.

Wasn’t until I was walking out to my car with my coworkers (several hours after my lunch break) that I noticed that the air around my car smelled… Funky

I open my car door and a wave of Hot Gross Onion Air hit

So, I (F23) have been a huge Formula 1 fan since I was a kid. Growing up in a low-income country, seeing a Grand Prix live always felt like a far-off dream. But after years of working my ass off, I finally got to a place financially where I could afford it.

Last December, that dream finally started to come true. I managed to buy F1 tickets—actual, real, expensive-ass tickets. All I had to do was choose which GP to attend. After some research and budgeting, I landed on Hungary, mostly because it was cheaper than the other European races and seemed less overwhelming for a first-time GP trip.

Wanting to be responsible and secure a place early, I booked a hotel ASAP. I went with

Attempted to steal a bag of fries because I need something to keep me fed. Used a calculator and all to make sure my groceries came to a round 10. But got hit with 11.60. Told the guy I'd go put it back but said "ugh fuck it.". Security caught up to me and I gave the fries back.

Went home and decided to read the receipt and lo and behold, a bag of fries paid for.

I probably got double charged at the counter. I've also issues that make me exploitable. And this was my first attempt at being not good for my own benefit. It's probably my last.

I've lost two days worth of sleep over this. I'm tired, I have no potatoes.

TL;DR: Tried to steal fries. Turns ou

Context: I’m British, some people say I have a posh voice, and I was visiting New York for a week with my grandparents a few weeks ago.

On our last day in NYC I decided to walk around Manhattan by myself while my grandparents picked up the hire car to drive upstate. As I’m walking through Times Square I get stopped by a man with a microphone alongside a camera man and a producer. He stops me and asks me if I wouldn’t mind answering a few questions. I see on the microphone it says “The Big Weekend Show” which, to an American might be obvious, but I had never heard of this show before so I figured it was some small YouTube thing.

So, I decided to agree to the interview (when in Rome). I

This happened about 5 years ago when I (18M now, around 13-14 back then) had one of the most embarrassing and ridiculous moments of my life.

So me and my friends were hanging out at the mall, high as hell off some weed we smoked earlier. I was completely faded. We ended up sitting at a Dunkin’ Donuts just chilling.

While sitting there, we see two girls in line. My friend nudges me and goes, “Which one do you think is hotter?” I point at the blonde and say she’s beautiful. He immediately fires back with: “If you got balls, ask her for her number.”

Now, at that age I’d never asked a girl for her number before. I could barely hold a conversation with strangers un

Obligatory, not today. I had a good coupon, one that got me a fairly low per pound rate on a decent enough be first. Now, I wasn't in the mood that day for a beef roast, but I knew I would be the next day and I might miss the sale if I waited. Now, I had several bags of things with me in the car at that time, and so the bag with the pot roast in it ended up sitting on the floor of the car. I think you know where this is going. The next day, I woke up and drove off to work not remembering one bit that I'd had a roast still in my car. . Now, my area it's not exactly cold. That roast was in the car for I'm not sure how long, but the end results was very very sad. No pot roast

I’ve recently been trying to upgrade my morning routine, get up earlier, drink better coffee, feel like an adult, etc. I’ve always wanted a good espresso machine, and after a bit of unexpected financial luck (a payout from an old side gig I forgot about), I finally treated myself to one of those semi-automatic machines that looks like it belongs in a hipster café.

It arrived a few days ago, and I was too excited to wait. I unpacked it, gave it a quick rinse, filled the water tank, added beans, and hit brew. I didn’t read the manual because, hey, how hard could it be to make espresso, right?

Turns out, pretty hard when you forget to install the drip tray and didn’t

This month I decided to get ahead of things financially for once. I had some bonus money came through from a side gig, and I figured, why not use it responsibly? So I prepaid two months of rent. It felt like a win: one less thing to worry about, and a small break from the constant “due date anxiety” I usually have.

For context, I normally pay rent right on time, sometimes with a reminder text from my landlord, if I’m honest. So this out-of-nowhere prepayment was very out of character for me.

Cue confusion.

A few hours after I sent the e-transfer, I get a call from my landlord, and he sounds concerned. He asks me if I’m okay, if someone’s using my account,

I’m 26M living alone, while my older sister lives about 65 km (40 miles) away, and my parents live in another country. This incident actually happened last night.

Yesterday, I bought a new T-shirt from a boutique store and decided to take some pictures in my apartment building’s laundry room where the lighting was really good. I was moving around trying to find the right angles and spent about an hour editing the photos afterward. I struggle with body dysmorphia and OCD, so I don’t post photos publicly, but sometimes I take them just for myself—moments where I feel okay with how I look.

Unbeknownst to me, my phone was on “Do Not Disturb” the entire time. It was an acci

I work at a law firm. Boss keeps the windows open and I get really bad allergies in spring. Today I forgot my Zyrtec so I was having really bad symptoms, like could not breathe bad. Boss was like, we have benadryl. I've never taken benadryl in my life. I figure how bad can it be. I take two. I then read the package: may cause marked fatigue. I usually drink strong cold brew in the morning and I also take a daily steroid inhaler for chronic asthma, which can wire me so bad that i lose sleep. You can see where this is going. The combo of the coffee and inhaler and benadryl is bad, like I can't think and my hands are floppy bad. I feel like I ate a weed gummy. My boss is asking

So this happened last weekend. I was leaving a party, pretty tipsy, and ordered an Uber to get home. The app said it’d be a white Toyota Corolla, and it was only a few minutes away, so I stood outside and waited.

A white Toyota Corolla pulled up and stopped in front of me. Without really thinking, I opened the door, got in, and said, "Hey, thanks for coming so quickly!" The driver looked at me like I was insane and said, “Uh, who are you?” I laughed, thinking he was joking, and said, “I’m your 2 AM passenger, take me home!”

He looked even more confused and said, “I’m just waiting for my wife.”

That’s when I realized what happened. I had gotten into a rando

I’m a school bus driver, and this morning I completely messed up my route timing. Everything felt smooth. I started my route on time, traffic was light, and every stop went off without a hitch. But barely any kids were getting on. It was strange enough that by stop 8 (usually one of my busiest), I asked a few of the regulars who usually chat with me, “Where is everyone today?”

In my mind, I tried to play it off. Maybe there’s a field trip? Maybe school’s doing something special today? I convinced myself it wasn’t me.

Then I got to stop 9, which is always my busiest, and saw kids running for dear life to catch my bus.

That’s when I finally glanced at my wri
