Let me give you an example: Text: title speaks for itself really... 
i just wasted $1500 of my parents' money.
i feel terrible.

edit: i guess it wasn't that i took the wrong class, but the class i was taking wouldn't transfer credits over to my university. so really it was my negligence to do more research in the matter. gg
The answer to this example can be: TIFU by taking the wrong class for 2 weeks and only realizing it today
Here is why: This title is appropriate for the given text post because the focus of this post is about a humorous situation caused by "taking the wrong class".

OK. solve this:
Text: nb: this is a throwaway because i don't want to drag names into this as my regular handle on reddit will lead to my name.

 

so, this was 8 years ago.  i was unemployed but looking for work.  1 month prior to my fuck up i had taken several job tests for a local university.  my gf was getting impatient with me not working and demanded that i do something to make some money.  i called my dad and he said he could pay me to help him remove an old furnace from a basement.  we get there and the furnace is at least 65 years old and has a cast iron heat exchange in it.  heavy as hell.  we disconnect it and put it on the dolly for the trip up the stairs and out into his truck.  i get on the top to pull the dolly up the stairs while he pushes from underneath.  3rd step from the top and it gets stuck.  i hunker down and put my weight into it to get it over the step.  it's at this point that my back says, ha ha, fuck you!" and decides to break and rupture a disc.  i hit the floor with half the furnace and dolly on top of me.  that crash causes my hip to dislocate at the left si joint.  here we are stuck with me underneath a 3-400lb furnace and my dad holding it up to keep it from falling on him.  i manage to wriggle out from underneath the mess and with no one else around to help, i pick the dolly up and we manage to get it up the last 3 stairs with me continuing to pull on it.  at this point i tell my dad that something is really wrong with my back because i felt the crack and was now starting to feel some pain.  from the crash to getting to the top of the stairs was less than two minutes.  he says ok and asks me to help him get it into his truck and he'll take me home.  so, we man handle this thing into the back of his truck and he takes me home.

now, i didn't know the extents of my injuries at this point and thought that i had just strained a muscle.  a week goes by of me in bed and a hell of a lot of pain and i end up going to the emergency room because i can't take it anymore.  cat scan shows broken vertebrae at the pars and a completely ruptured disc at l4/l5.  it would be 6 more years before someone diagnosed the dislocated hip.  2 weeks after this accident the university calls to let me know i have a job as a janitor.  nope, sorry, i can barely walk.

it takes another 2 and a half years of treatment and diagnosing before i get my fusion surgery.  during this time my gf is getting upset and pissed off because i can't work, was denied disability and it was taking too long for me to get the surgery.  so 2 months prior to the surgery she kicks me out.

here i am in a lot of pain, can barely walk and use a cane and wheelchair to get around and now i'm living in a homeless shelter.  the first one i go to has a 2 week policy, so after 2 weeks i'm shuffled to a different town and homeless shelter that has a 1 month policy.  i explain my situation to them and they let me stay the additional 2 weeks until my surgery date.  but, because they're not equipped to handle what special needs i'd have after surgery, they wouldn't take me back.  knowing this, i befriend some people who have jobs and are about to start renting their own place and ask them if they'd put me up after the surgery and they agree.

surgery and recovery goes well until about 2 weeks into physical therapy when the pain starts coming back.  the dr suspends pt and has me start additional testing.  the people i live with start getting hostile towards me about not working and me being denied disability again.  it's at this point that my brother, who lived in a different state, steps in and says he'll take me in.  after visiting him over a weekend, i come back to get my stuff from where i was living and they tell me i can't have it.  when i tried to get my computer the guy's brother puts me in a headlock and starts beating the shit out of me.  he was punching me so hard that he drove one of my i-teeth through my face about half an inch above my upper lip.

needless to say, i got out of there and without anything.  my clothes, computer and furniture that i went through the trouble of getting back from my ex-gf,gone.  i did manage to get my picture albums and a couple other items of sentimental value eventually.

my life did get better.  i did finally manage to get on disability 5 years ago.  with my back pay i bought a new computer.  it was a bargain bin build-it-yourself, but it was great for the time.  i also moved out on my own.  i can now get around without the wheelchair except for long stints of being on my feet.  the pain is coming on much stronger now and i'm in pt again to try to fix that, but it's a real rough go.  my most recent x-rays show degenerative disc disease in my lumbar and thoracic spine.  it's been 2 years since my hip was diagnosed as being dislocated and it's finally staying in place after several adjustments and me wearing an elastic band around my hips to keep it there.

as to my claim of being all but destitute....  i've been trying for almost 2 years to save up money to buy new parts to upgrade my computer.  so far, i've managed to upgrade the power supply and that allowed me to upgrade to a video card that was only 3 years old(radeon hd7970) at the time.  i had to upgrade that when i did because my old one was having overheating problems.  since that upgrade, i've not been able to save up enough to buy anything because my bills have increased and my pay has not.  i did make a campaign on a popular personal crowdfunding site a year and a half ago and so far that has got me a total of $10 of the $3000 i'm wanting.  the reason i want that much is because i'd really love to have vr.  i can't get out and do the things i used to love doing.  i used to be an avid outdoorsman and flew ultralights.  now i can't even go shopping for more than 20 minutes without needing to sit in a wheelchair because of the pain.

i worked it out a few days ago that after all my bills are taken care of (rent, utilities, internet, phone, car insurance and medical copays and that's it) i have $5,656 a year for groceries and sundries.  so, yeah, i'm very broke.

how do i get through all this?  meds.  morphine twice a day plus nerve pills and anti-depressants.

i thank you for reading all this!  it feels good to get all this off my chest.  i hope it helps brighten your day knowing at least someone is having a worse one.  :-)

cheers!

edit:  thanks for all the well wishes!  it really helps!

edit 2:  for those wanting some proof, my back after the surgery and an mri report 4 months after the surgery.

for those wondering why my parent(s) didn't take me in.  my father is a raging alcoholic and can barely keep his own shit straight.  i do live near my mother now, but she lives in a small trailer on a large farm with her husband and my autistic youngest brother.
