What's this? A subreddit post woefully underpopulated by bees? A large influx of bees ought to put a stop to that! 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝 🐝

I used to have a phone where you could swipe left/right to switch between conversations. I hated that feature.
One day I was at the store, and texted my roommate a few various questions on what we needed... At some point, I switched to texting my manager from work instead, and didn't realize it until after I ended up buying him dish soap and a few boxes of pasta. For his part, he knew exactly what happened (as this wasn't the first time), and was curious what would happen if he played along.
Also, you should totally wear yellow and black to work tomorrow.

Sounds like your boss has a great sense of humor. I can definitely see my boss playing along, too. :-)

IF anything bad happens from this I will be very disappointed if I don't read it on TIFU.

I wouldn't think it's so bad. You seem like someone with a sense of humor, so while I'd think it was weird, I would simply laugh it off and not mention it in person (though I'd probably respond over text).

Honestly, it's the "beejees" text that's really throwing me off. It was NOT a blowjob/bee cross reference, I was trying to toss a 'stayin alive' pun in there (the bee died) and I fucked up the spelling. I just hope dude doesn't think I fuck bees or something LMAO

Well, I once called to my mom's work. Big offices with a lady who answers the calls and redirects them to whoever you want to call there in the offices. So, that lady answered, and I started to talk to her as if she was my mom. Five seconds later the lady says -"So, you wanna talk to your mom, honey?". I felt super embarrassed. The lady redirected the call to my mom's office and I acted as if nothing had happened.

I once sent a message to my boyfriend that said "I can't wait for kisses" with a picture of me pouting with toothpaste all over my mouth. Yeah, turns out I sent it to my piano teacher. They had very similar names.

My employee has accidentally texted me weird stuff when he thought he was texting his girlfriend. I simply laugh a bit and say exactly what your employer said, cause it's weird to say anything else. But on the inside I understand what happened and move on, we're all people. Please don't feel too bad :).

I am absolutely positive that you gave your manager a good, hearty laugh. It was all innocent and silly. He now has a glimpse of your personal life to flesh out who he knows about your in your professional life. And it's just exposed that you're a good natured, wholesome person.
He'll probably have a higher opinion of you from now on.

I once wrote the wrong name of the person who I was applying to. Still got accepted after apologizing. So I guess it was fine.

it's not a big deal. for some reason our culture places a huge emphasis on absolute seriousness and heavy distaste for goofiness but you haven't said or done anything wrong

I've had two instances like this.
One was when I was playing a game with my buddies. I wasn't looking at the screen so I didn't realize that I was on Facebook chat and ended up accidentally spamming my sister's boyfriend, who I didn't know very well at the time, with messages like "toss me the food," "I DID!" or "can't hear you." He was also at work during this time and got buzzed with the notifications :/
There was also one time I tried making a joke poll in a private friend group, but I accidentally clicked on "____ Class of 2018" instead and didn't realize that I posted the joke survey there until a few minutes after I submitted it. 40+ people already saw it before it got deleted :(

Like a month ago I nearly accidentally sent all of the faculty in the college I work at this message:
My how 2847483 3e9 es . Mmmmmmm mhmm I a 29489 in /.M mm I in 389
My phone was in my pocket and somehow I butt-went to my email, butt-selected the all-faculty email list, and then proceeded to begin butt-typing this lovely letter. I cannot even begin to think of how I would have lived through the shame.
Thank Beesus I realized what was happening.
