u/Friend_Just_For_You

This happened earlier today, and I am still cringing every time I look at my phone. ​I recently moved into a new apartment. The place is great, but the landlord is extremely particular about everything. He sends long, detailed text messages almost every morning about tiny rules—like how to properly close the main lobby door, where to place the doormat, and what time to bring the trash back in. ​Today, he sent another 4-paragraph text about "proper balcony etiquette." ​I took a screenshot of his text and opened a chat with my best friend to vent. I typed out: "Is this guy for real? He texts like a military commander every single morning. I feel like I'm living in a boot camp." ​I hit send. ​Except... I didn't send it to my friend. In my rush, I accidentally pasted the text right back into the chat with my landlord. ​As soon as the two blue checkmarks appeared, my heart dropped into my stomach. I frantically tried to delete it, but he had already opened it. ​Ten seconds later, I got a reply: "I assure you, living in a boot camp is much harder. Please make sure the balcony rules are followed." ​I haven't left my apartment all day. ​TL;DR: Tried to text my best friend to complain about my strict landlord's morning messages, but accidentally sent the rant directly to the landlord himself.
