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 - 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 ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
