tifu, so, today i decided im gonna dye my hair, give myself a haircut, you know all that lovely stuff. After sitting around getting the dye in, washing it out, cutting my fringe and doing some lovely beauty care. i sit down and go to straighten out my bangs, to find my hair straighteners on, i am the only one that uses them. i haven’t used them in around 7 months. They were under my bed and have burnt a hole in my carpet. Now all i can think about is what if i hadn’t found them, thats a fire hazard! and all i can think of is how much that’s been contributing to my electric bill! i am too embarrassed to even tell anyone yet. Please reddit, i need some help on how im gonna explain this absolute fuck up to the people i live with!

TL;DR: I found my hair straighteners that had been left on, under my bed for approximately 7 months.

EDIT: hey guys, can you stop being outraged at me as if i have no idea what i did wrong, yes i understand and i have learned from this situation although id like to clarify it was on an extremely LOW heat when i found it as well as the fact that i do usually tend to unplug stuff, unless of course i am being rushed around, i am autistic and when people try to ruin the way i planned stuff out in my head i will forget things due to being overstimulated by shouting
