Yeah, unfortunately you read the title correct and to say that I am MORTIFIED, is an understatement.
It all happened so fast! I was going through people's stories, just skipping through and it went to the person in questions snap story and the keyboard/options to react to their story fully came up onto the screen and where I was tapping my thumb to skip people's stories, I pressed the skull reaction. When I tell you my stomach dropped, I don't think it ever dropped so fast. I sat up faster than a bullet and quickly went into the chat and deleted the skull reaction and sent a heart one and apologized to them.
As typing this out, I just realised they probably had a notification that I responded to their story with the skull emoji reaction.
I feel so guilty, they messaged me twenty minutes ago (as of typing this) and I haven't opened it, I'm too nervous to. And I don't know this person too well either, I know them through a friend and work with their sibling..
TL; DR: TIFU by accidentally sending a skull emoji reaction to someone's snap story of them and their deceased mother ๐
EDIT UPDATE;
They sent me a text when I was first typing this post out and they responded, "it's ok"
So it's all good now! Still feeling a bit guilty though, next time I know to be more careful to avoid the mini panic attack ๐ญ๐ซถ
TL;DR: They responded, "it's ok". So it's all good...minus the lingering feelings of panic :')
