    Text - TIFU by forgetting I was having groceries delivered and consequently traumatising the delivery driver. So this FU happened about 45 mins ago and l'm currently laying in the bath recovering. I ordered a food delivery from the local supermarket to be delivered this morning. I work from home so it's super convenient. I had had a super shitty day yesterday so was having a slow morning- it got to 10am and I was still in my dressing gown (with no belt and nothing underneath), hair unwashed and

I'm annoyed at myself as I completely forgot- usually l'd be ready and dressed and have shut the cats in another room (they're currently indoor but try to escape).This is where the first thing goes wrong. I go to take the first tray from the driver - we get the food delivered in big basket trays, you take them into your house and unload then go give the trays back. As I take it, my dressin

She's recently rescued and not allowed out quite yet, so I panic and try and block her way with my foot. At this point, my lower back completely gives way, and I collapse to the floor in pain, covering myself, my cat and everything in the groceries (including a jar of cornichons that smashes).

I'm so stuck I have to call to the delivery guy, who has to come into my house and help me up- at which point l'm almost in tears from the pain. My other cat has now appeared and it's trying to lick up the pickle juice so he's also trying to move her away at the same time.

I then realise how awful my living room looks- as I said I had an awful day the night before and had consoled myself badly by finishing a bottle of wine and then moving onto some gin. Both of which bottles are still on the living room table (with the gin lid off) as I hadn't yet cleaned up.

    Text - You'd think that'd be it, and I've already disgraced myself enough looking like an unemployed alcoholic with no personal hygiene and half in tears, but oh no, my newer cat decides it's time to come hurtling back down the stairs and straight out the front door which the delivery driver let swing open again when he rushed in to pick me up.

Between sobs I ask if he could possibly try and catch her as I can't move and she's old and scared. Luckily he is a hero and manages to wrestle her back in, which is no easy feat as she's over a stone and very bitey and hissing. He practically yeets her inside and runs back to the safety of his little van without a look back. It took me 20 mins to get up and hobble upstairs to get

    Text - TL;DR: Forgot I had food being delivered, unintentionally flashed the driver, then asked him to pick me up after my back went, then accidentally made myself look like an unemployed alcoholic, then had to ask him to rescue a very angry cat. Also my ice cream has probably melted.
