I'd say I'm sorry for the title, but that would imply I was sorry for the title.
Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Last time I had a surgery, I accidentally insulted the lead nurse and instantly felt like I made the biggest mistake of my life, even though she said she thought it was funny.
We were having a friendly chat before the surgery and I guess I was too relaxed, and at one point, she said that if she makes a funny face, it was just her normal behavior and not something bad had happened, and I jokingly said, "How would I know?" and instantly died inside.
It's like an automatic joke I'd say with my friends, but I barely knew this lady. I hadn't even really noted what she looked like. And when I actually looked, she had a very alternative look. I think she had a lot of tattoos and green hair.
She thought it was funny, but I started sweating.
The nurses I work with will brush off patient shit talk, but grind their teeth over bad management decisions. I'm given to understand this is normal.
I don't think you'll ever meet someone with a thicker skin than an ER nurse.
I mean I had to read that a few times to understand what you thought was a faux pas. That wasn't the worst she had heard that morning lol.
