TIFU by responding to my girlfriend's sexy photos with a meme

My girlfriend and I have the exact same kind of "shitpost" sense of humor. We are constantly sending each other dumb memes over text, quoting them in real life and replying to even mundane messages with them. From the outside it definitely is cringy and it probably doesn't sound like we take the relationship seriously but we've been doing great for four years now, living together for one and I'm planning to propose to her on our fifth anniversary.

But fast forward to last evening and I think acting like normal may have seriously offended her. I've been out of town for almost a week helping my brother move across the country and also celebrating our parents anniversary in his new city while we're at it. GF and I have obviously been texting back and forth when I have time and the conversations are as casual as they always are.

The conversation even got a little bit spicy as we've been apart for a week and we're getting a little lonely, needless to say I'm excited to eventually get back home. Even more so when she surprised me late in the evening with about a dozen images of a "gift" she got for me, a very nice set of lingerie. It wasn't a quick mirror selfie either she had full makeup on, her hair done up and even mood appropriate lighting. I was hella excited but out of habit I grabbed a GIF from my reaction folder and sent it without thinking.

Few minutes later and she replies with: "Can you take something fucking seriously for once?"

24 hours later and she won't respond to my attempts at apology and even ignored two calls.

I feel like an asshole and I'm worried I damaged our relationship or made her feel like I'm not seriously invested in us. I want to do something really romantic for her when I get back but I'm scared that it's already too late.

TLDR: My girlfriend and I joke constantly so I responded to her high effort sexy photos with a meme GIF and now she's completely ignoring me and I'm scared that I damaged our relationship.

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...
