TIFU by texting a .gif to my home care nurse instead of my wife

I had a major surgery last year, and this led to complications that required surgery again this year. The second surgery left me with an open wound that required a wound vac and visits from a home care nurse 3-4 times a week. The nurse calls me up and we arrange for her first visit a couple days after my discharge from the hospital.

I have to say that the nurse and I didn't start off very well. She was very cold and formal, and this clashed with my jovial nature. Couple that with the fact that I have to expose my junk to access the wound site and you have a recipe for maximum awkwardness. This awkwardness persisted for the weeks and months where she would visit, with the only breaks being the times she was off and a more fun and personable nurse would take her place. I got to the point where I dreaded seeing her.

After what seemed like forever, I finally got a release from home care with one more visit and the approval from my surgeon to resume sexual activity. YES!!

I was so excited that I didn't even make it to my car before sending my wife this gif with the caption "I'm gonna do this to you tonight".

Then I get the response:

Excuse me??

That's extremely inappropriate Mr. XXXXXXXX

I'm mortified. I literally need a Snicker's bar. I had been texting the nurse from my doctor's office to arrange her coming by to pick up the wound vac and leftover supplies. I had been texting my wife before that and had forgotten to switch back in my excitement...

In all my life I have never felt awkwardness and embarrassment like that last visit with my home care nurse, who treated me like a creeper even after I apologized and flushed completely red trying to explain I meant the message for my wife.

TL;DR I sent my cold and hyper-formal home care nurse a suggestive gif and message meant for my wife. Maximum cringe ensued..

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
