TIFU by accidently abandoning my girlfriend at music festival

M63 her 66. Both in pretty good shape not what you would call even close to feeble.

I'm 5'6 140 lbs. We've been together for 9 months.

We had a big breakfast around noon.

Arrived at the festival about 6:00p I had a couple of chicken wings and some BBQ samples

I drank a 24 oz craft beer, 24 oz Margarita style malt beverage, a quarter pint of vodka and a couple of puffs.

The final concert ended (10p).

Before we left, I told her I wanted to hit the bathroom. I asked her to wait for me in a golf cart close by. For some reason I didn't meet her back at the golf cart.

I didn't realize my mistake until I walked about half the festival toward the exit.
I tried calling her five times before I remembered she didn't bring her phone.

So, I made my way to the exit point of the festival hoping to run into her.

We rode together, but she's not good at downtown so I'm not sure if she remembered where we parked.

I thought maybe she would borrow someone's phone and call me

but in this modern era I'm not sure that she knows my number because it's stored in her phone.

Luckily someone in a golf cart gave her a ride to the front gate and we met up.

Immediate crisis averted.

But now I'm worried on two levels:

What the f*** happened to me that I forgot that I had left my date until I was halfway out the festival.

Will this damage our relationship in the long term because she will feel that I can't take care of her in a crisis?

So, should I bring this incident up and apologize with flowers and stuff

or

should I hope she forgets about it?

​

TL;DR: Are there some social accidents you can't recover from and it's best to break-up now ?

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by making a joke that landed horribly

I was talking to someone and thought I was being funny, but the second the words left my mouth I knew I had messed up. It was one of those jokes that sounds fine in your head and then just dies completely in real life. Nobody laughed, the mood got awkward instantly, and I could feel my face getting hot because I knew I had just made everything weird for no reason. What made it worse is that I tried to recover from it instead of just shutting up. So then I started talking more, which only made it more obvious that I was panicking. You know that feeling when you can hear yourself getting worse while it’s happening and you still can’t stop? yeah, that was me. I kept trying to act normal, but the whole thing was already gone. After that I just wanted to disappear and pretend it never happened. I’m still thinking about it way more than I should, which somehow makes it even more embarrassing. I really should have just kept my mouth shut for once. TL;DR: I tried to be funny and the joke...
