Reply to comment by Internal-Radish3622 in TIFU by mishearing the woman cutting my hair by Swimmin_Duck

That's not as bad as what I did once. Last year I went to the doc to get my birth control replaced (I have the arm implant). The nurse was asking the usual questions to get my info. I thought she said "at home you feel sick?). I thought it sounded a bit odd but I was thinking to myself, I've been feeling fine at home. So I instantly said no. Well the thing is, she had a mask on and her speech was kinda muffled from it. To make things worse, my husband was standing right next to me when I answered her. When I said no, she gave my husband a dirty look, then looked back at me and said "you don't feel safe???" That time I heard her correctly and quickly apologized and told her I misheard her and yes I feel very safe. My husband was freaking out because he thought they were gonna call the cops on him or something because they think he's abusing me. Which he never has to be clear haha

They ask in front of the partner? Even a abuse victim would say no.

I am so sad that they have to ask these kind of questions and i know that this is a good thing. But oh boi do I feel violated when someone suggests that i would ever hurt the people i love.

The worst part of COVID masks: trying to understand what the other person said.
