TIFU by texting “I love you” to my boss instead of my boyfriend

r/

Was texting my boyfriend during lunch break this morning because honestly, it’s the only thing getting me through the hellscape that is my job right now. Meanwhile, my evil boss (who cannot stand me and probably dreams about firing me) messages me about some urgent project update. In my rush to switch apps and respond like the good little worker bee I am, I made a fatal mistake.

Instead of replying to my boyfriend, I sent my boss the message:

“Can’t wait to see you tonight! Love you!”

His reply came almost instantly:

“Thanks, but I think we should just stay friends.”

I have never wanted to dig a hole and disappear faster in my entire life. Seriously, if someone could invent a “Delete Myself From Reality” button, I’d smash it right now.

Kill me please and thank you. TL;DR: accidentally professed my love to my boss, send help.

    Send a text back as quickly as you can. ‘Sorry, accidental text. That was to my boyfriend.’ Then don’t worry. It’s not like you sent nudes. It’s an honest mistake!

    Your boss 100% knew what happened, and was just playing along.

    This is absolutely just a , “Haha, whoops” funny sort of moment.

    This sounds as if they knew that message wasn’t for them.

    > Can’t wait to see you tonight! Love you!

    Unless you actually had plans to see your boss tonight, he understood what happened 🙂

    I sent a ‘I’m soo in love with you’ text to my landlord once whilst thinking it was to my wife. She (landlord) was younger than I and handled it perfectly. : ‘I love you too but probably not as much as your bride.’ SMH…
