TIFU by Flexing My Living Dog on My Teachers Dead Dog
I fucked up today. I’m a freshman in honors Spanish. All of my classes are online via zoom. Some classes make us have our cameras on, some only for attendance to make sure we’re there; that’s what my Spanish teacher does. So my Spanish teacher likes to start the meeting 5 minutes early because we have a 5 minute break between classes so if you want to join and ask her about a grade, just talk or something you can , but I didn’t join early that day. For attendance she makes us turn on our camera and I join my zoom from my chrome book on my couch while my dog is also just sitting on the couch with me. During attendance I show off my dog (because he is very large, cute and people love dogs) only to see my teacher starts crying and turns off her camera. Wut?? Is she that in love with my cute ass dog? Nope. Friend in same class as me texts me laughing saying that she told the class before I joined she was absent yesterday because her dog died and she is very sad about it. She apologized to the class after like a few minutes but I feel like I shouldve apologized. I’ve never met her in person and we are in our second of 4 marking periods so I do not know her well. I feel so bad you guys :(
TLDR; Join zoom meeting late and didn’t hear teacher say her dog died. I show off my dog during attendance. She starts crying.
Edit: had class today and apologized after class ended. She said it was fine and it wasn’t my fault that I didn’t know and she showed me some pictures. It was one of those cute white dogs.
