so this happened yesterday and honestly i still want to move to another country. my gf and i have been together about 8 months and it's serious enough that i've met her parents a few times. her dad is one of those ex military guys who barely talks but somehow makes you feel like you're disappointing him just by breathing too loud.

anyway my gf and i have a shared Spotify playlist and at some point after a few beers i made another playlist as a joke called "songs to ruin the sheets to." yes i know. i thought i was the funniest person alive. cover photo was a bed with handcuffs on it because apparently i was committed to the bit.

yesterday her dad texted me asking if i could send him that classic rock playlist i mentioned at dinner because he wanted to check it out. i was at work, half looking at spreadsheets half trying not to get yelled at by my boss, and i just copied the first Spotify link in my clipboard and sent it.

five minutes later he sent me a thumbs up.

i didn't think anything of it. i actually remember thinking nice, future FIL likes me.

then my gf called. she wasn't laughing. she was dead silent for a second and then just goes, why the actual hell did you send my dad a playlist called songs to ruin the sheets to?

i swear my body went cold. like full windows shutdown noise in my brain.

apparently the first song was Let's Get It On. second was Pony. so there was absolutely no way to pretend it was some indie band or a weird typo. i think there was also Sex on Fire in there because of course there was.

i texted her dad immediately apologizing and sent the right playlist.

he replied, "No worries. Impressive confidence."

that somehow made it so much worse.

my gf was horrified for about ten minutes and then started laughing so hard she couldn't talk. her mom apparently laughed until she cried. her dad has not texted me since and now i have to see him again on Sunday for lunch and act like this man has not accidentally seen the soundtrack to me absolutely disrespecting his daughter.

tbh i don't remember exactly what's on that playlist and at this point i don't want to know.

TL;DR: tried to send my girlfriend's dad a classic rock playlist, accidentally sent him my sex playlist instead. he said i had impressive confidence and i may never emotionally recover from this.
