Today, I meant to send a spicy message to my partner, but sent it to my dad due to the Whatsapp conversations being next to each other on my computer screen, and me not paying attention due to being an idiot. My dad replied, “Uh... not sure I needed that mental image.” FML

It may have cheered her up. You never know. P.S., why would you send a "cheerful smiley" to cheer her up?

You deserve it for using smileys to express concern for a friends probably seriously painful experience. Wtf? A tearful smiley to express yourself in this obviously serious conversation?
