TIFU accidentally sent a text to MIL instead of mum

What a nightmare my life has been recently, but this - this I really fucked up. For some context, our pet rabbit is suffering from some health issues in the past few weeks, had a surgery and this week things should have already been better but anyway after her stitches were removed it must’ve been itchy and she chew on the wound to the point where we had to go back to the vet for a treatment and we’re back to the point where she needs pretty much nonstop supervision during the day and has to wear a cone for the night so I can get at least some sleep. It’s really exhausting mentally, physically and financially.

For Christmas Eve me and my partner usually do a tour de families. Heading out in the morning, drive to his family (mum and grandma, ~90 min), have lunch and gift giving, then drive to my family (~40 min) have dinner and gifts and drive home (~90 min).

This year due to the circumstances we decided it would be safer if I just stay home and he would do the usual at least with his family and with mine we would either postpone for a few days or I would come alone any other day while my partner takes care of the bunny. Other options include either taking her with us which is really stressful considering we would be gone all day and spend significant amount of time in the car. Or we would have to put a cone for the day as well which is also stressful and very limiting and I just don’t want to do that.

My family was very understanding since they also deal with a sick pet of their own, so it’s not a big deal if we postpone for a few days. I haven’t spoken to my MIL but my partner was on the phone with her and from what I heard she wasn’t happy at all and doesn’t accept that I chose my pets safety over Christmas tradition. Anyway I had a weird night and I’m really stressed and anxious (not like it’s an excuse) and this morning I was texting my mum, we’ve already exchanged a couple messages today and I wrote: “Anyway [MIL] is pretty upset that I’m not coming. Apparently sick rabbit is not good enough reason.” Well as soon as I hit send I realized I sent it to MIL. I have no idea how it’s possible since I was sure I have a convo with my mum opened, but it happened. I immediately sent an apology but the damage is done. I am so mad with myself. Such a stupid mistake. I feel like an idiot.

TL;DR sent a text about my MIL to my MIL instead of my mum by accident.

UPDATE: she called me because my husband spoke to her and told her I’m freaking out. She said it’s cool and not to worry, she even said she found it funny but she would prefer if I don’t text her at 8AM. So I guess I’m good?

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...
