TIFU by reacting with a laughing emoji on a condolences post

r/

In one of my WhatsApp groups, a member shared the sad news that someone had recently passed away and that they were holding a memorial service for her, along with an invitation photo. Last night, I accidentally reacted with a laughing emoji on the post, and I only noticed it this morning.

I quickly changed my reaction and sent a personal message to the person explaining that it was a mistake. I’m feeling really embarrassed because my reaction was the only one besides a caring response, and it must have been visible to everyone who saw the invite.

TL;DR: I accidentally reacted with a laughing emoji on a WhatsApp post about a memorial service. I noticed it the next morning, changed it, and apologized. I’m really embarrassed since it was the only non-caring reaction.

    Definitely embarrassing, but I think most people would assume it was an accident, especially if you changed it later
