TIFU by Sending a Very Inappropriate GIF to My Boss Instead of My Friend

So, this happened earlier today, and I’m still dying of embarrassment. I work in an office where we use a messaging app for communication (you know, typical corporate stuff). I’ve always been super careful with who I’m messaging, but today I managed to make the mother of all mistakes.

I have a friend who also works in the same company, and we’ve been passing the time by sending each other funny GIFs throughout the day to keep our spirits up. You know the ones — ridiculous, sometimes a little inappropriate, but all in good fun.

Anyway, I was in the middle of a boring workday when I came across the perfect GIF for my friend. It was this clip of a cat slapping another cat while the words "Shut the F*** Up" flashed across the screen. A little aggressive, but hilarious in context (we’d just been talking about how annoying someone in the office was being).

I clicked on the GIF, hit send, and immediately continued with my work like nothing had happened. A few minutes later, I saw a notification pop up. My stomach dropped. It wasn’t my friend who replied. It was my BOSS.

Turns out, I didn’t send the cat slap GIF to my friend. I sent it to my boss. And not just any boss—the boss. The CEO of the company. The guy who literally signs my paycheck.

Cue full-on panic mode.

I quickly opened the message thread and there it was: the aggressive cat slap GIF, sent directly to the CEO with absolutely zero context. No “Hey, sorry, wrong message!” or “This was meant for someone else!” Just a GIF of a cat telling the CEO to shut the f*** up. I was horrified.

My immediate instinct was to try and fix it. I started typing out an apology, but then stopped. What the hell do I even say?!

"Uh, sorry for telling you to shut up with a violent cat, Mr. CEO? I was trying to send that to a friend who was venting about their lunch break?"

I panicked, deleted the draft, and left it on read. My brain was screaming, and I had no idea how to handle this situation. So, I did what any rational person would do—I turned off my computer and pretended it didn’t happen.

Fast forward to about an hour later, and I’m still sweating bullets, checking my phone every five seconds to see if I’ve been fired via email. Then, suddenly, a reply notification comes through. Heart pounding, I open it.

And this is what I see:

“Aggressive, but I like it. Let’s keep the meetings short today.”

My jaw hit the floor. Not only did he not fire me, but he actually responded with...a joke? Was this real life? I don’t know if I’m in the clear yet, but at least for now, I still have a job.

Moral of the story: Always check who you’re sending GIFs to. Or better yet, maybe don’t send your boss a cat slap meme at all.

TL;DR: Tried to send a funny GIF to a friend but accidentally sent it to my boss, nearly lost my job and my dignity.

TIFU by walking into a glass door.

This just happened barely 30 minutes ago. Ended up with a nose bleed and some of the worst nose pain in my life. I can’t even wear glasses without the pressure hurting my nose. So, how did I make the same fuck up a bird would? I put on my sunglasses to leave an appointment and ended up walking nose first into a glass door. Shambling back in shock, I had no damn clue what I had just done. It shocked me so bad that I didn’t comprehend it until I felt liquid drip down my nose. I had turned into the world’s bloodiest leaking faucet. Someone witnessed this in their periphery and asked me if they needed to phone someone. In a panic I basically wailed for them not to, even though I would soon freak out and think I need an ambulance. Someone else came by and ended up giving me paper towels, which quickly looked like I had murdered a mouse with them. My nosebleed soon stopped but not before someone else checked on me. TLDR; fought a glass door and lost. I do not envy the janitorial staff. ...

TIFU by asking my boss why his cock got hard on my leg.

***not a fake post. I’m F 32, He was standing over one of my legs while I was sitting in front of him facing him (spinal adjustment) and he spread my knees with his leg, put his hand on my stomach and then there was a ton of sexual tension and I felt his cock grow into my leg and then start to fill with blood and then twitch on my leg. My boss has been leading me on for two years in subtle ways. Lots of waist pinching, close moments, and “were you good while I was away(s)?” Mostly breadcrumbing himself out to me while his wife (who I also work with) became increasingly hostile towards me. He is someone who has been a mentor to me for ten years. The two of them seem to be having marital problems on and off. The other month, while in close proximity, he started to get hard on my leg and moved when he noticed. A while later, I asked for an open conversation on the attraction between us and what to do about it. It has been distressing me and I had reached my limit. I figured since we’ve...

TIFU by going through my girlfriend’s old photos

My girlfriend and I have been together for 9 months or so and things have been up and down but I love her a lot and she loves me a lot. We’re both 20 and she’s had a lot more experience sexually than I have and this has always bothered me but besides that we have a pretty good relationship. We’ve talked about our pasts and she’s had some pretty bad experiences that caused her to kind of go off the rails up until we met. She’s all in on me and I’m all in on her and she’s expressed a lot of regret about her past choices and I’ve tried to be as understanding as possible but I’ve always had some insecurity regarding it. Well anyways last night I was on her laptop and saw her photos were linked to it and I stupidly clicked on it and started going through them. Don’t need anyone telling me that it was dumb and an invasion of privacy because I really realize that now and I will never be going through any of her stuff again. Anyways I ended up seeing a lot of shit. Clicked on a folder that...
