TIFU by accidentally texting my girlfriend a play-by-play of her own surprise party.

So my girlfriend’s birthday was coming up, and I wanted to do something special. I planned a surprise party with a few of her close friends, rented out a cool little rooftop space, catered tacos (her favorite), and even got custom cupcakes with her face on them.

The whole thing was supposed to be a secret. That was the point.

Now, I’m juggling a group chat with her friends, coordinating timing, decorations, and that one friend who always runs late. At the same time, I’m texting my girlfriend like everything is normal: “What movie do you want to watch tonight?” “No, nothing special planned this weekend!”

Except… I accidentally sent the wrong message to her.

Instead of texting her best friend:

“Okay, we yell surprise when she walks in, then hand her the tequila shot. That’s the vibe.”
I sent it to my girlfriend.

As in, the person we were all trying to surprise.

There was a solid three minutes of silence before she replied:

“You had one job.”
Then, like a full villain origin story moment, she shows up to her own party pretending to be shocked — Oscar-worthy performance, really. She even dramatically gasped and faked tears. Everyone was confused.

Later she made me recreate the surprise moment three more times so she could “actually feel it.” I deserved it.

So yeah.
