Obligatory “this was yesterday”.

TIFU. Went to the library to have a quiet, relaxing afternoon. Stopped in the restroom to pee. Went to shut the door to the accessible stall and it hit the latch, caught for a moment and then slipped past it, swinging out.

I wasn’t expecting that and was leaning on the door a little. I fell, my arm catching the latch on the way down. Two cuts, a swollen leg, torn up skin, lots of bruises.

TIFU by using the iodine wipe the library staff gave me. -3/10 do not recommend. It burned terribly and turned my skin orange.

20 minutes later they scrounge up a different disinfecting wipe and a single band-aid. I convince the staff that yes, we should actually write an incident report, just in case.

TIFU. Bandaged it all when I got home. Had an allergic reaction to the medical tape. Thankfully that swelling has calmed down.

I’m in so much pain.

TL;DR: Fell in the restroom at the library and caused extra pain with iodine and medical tape
