TIFU by accidentally texting my boss a very cringey message meant for a girl I’ve been seeing

So this happened last night, and I’m seriously considering quitting my job out of sheer embarrassment.

I’ve been talking to this girl for a couple of weeks now, and things have been going great. We’ve been getting a little flirty over text, so I decided to take things up a notch and send her a message that was… well, let’s just say it was way more forward than usual.

The message was supposed to say something like, “I can’t stop thinking about you… I swear, if I was there right now, I wouldn’t be able to keep my hands off you 😉.”

Yeah, you can already see where this is going.

Except I didn’t send it to her. I sent it to my boss.

Let me just paint the picture here: I’m sitting on my couch, thinking I’m being all smooth, and then I see the name at the top of the screen. It’s not her name. It’s my boss’s name. I literally felt my soul leave my body.

I freaked out so hard, I almost threw my phone across the room. Now, I’m sitting there trying to figure out if I can somehow recall the message, but it’s too late. There’s no taking it back. And this isn’t just a “whoops, wrong person” text—this is a full-on seductive message that I just sent to my superior.

About ten minutes later, I get a response: “Uh… I don’t think this was meant for me.”

I wanted to die right then and there. I mumbled some terrible excuse like, “OMG sorry, wrong number, haha, you know how it is, LOL!” But let’s be real, there’s no way to recover from that. Now I have to face him at work on Monday knowing he read that entire cringe-fest of a message.

I’ve never wanted to disappear more in my life.

TL;DR: Tried to send a super flirty (borderline spicy) text to a girl, accidentally sent it to my boss, and now I need to find a new job or a new planet.

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 ...
