TIFU by crying my eyes out at my nail appointment

Tomorrow is my prom and I wanted to get a set of nails with some butterflies that are a bit difficult to draw and some sparkles. So I made an appointment with the best nail tech in town a month ago for today, at 11:30h, or so I thought. When I came to her salon at 11:20, there was another girl and she told me that she called her since I didn't show up. Btw she sent me a text at 11:15, but I didn't see it in time. My appointment was supposed to be at 11h on the 30th, not at 11.30. I tought it was 11.30 because I asked her if she was availible on the 30. (in my country it's 30. with a dot, not 30th) and she said "yes, is 11h 30. okay?", so I didn't think she would mention the date since i asked specifically for that day. She told me that she will do my nails since I have prom tomorrow, and the other girl was nice and said she wouldn't mind and that I can get a small design on my nails if I want to. Long story short, I got plain pink nails with a couple of metalic sparkles. The nails are okay, but they aren't like I imagined them to be and they don't really go with the dress. But I'm not going to complain, since she was really nice and insisted on drawing at least something even though I told her she didn't have to. I appologised to her and to the girl for the hundredth time, gave her a tip (which isn't mandatory in my country) and basically ran from the store in tears. I also cried during the entire process and couldn't wipe my nose and I don't even want to know how I looked like. She finished in about 45 minutes and had some time left for the other girl, but she had to move the other appointments for about an hour each.

I don't care that much how my nails look, but I feel extremely bad for messing her schedule for today. And I'm also super embarrassed for crying that much. I wanted to do two more sets of nails during the summer but now i don't know if I would have courage to show up just to take my nails off, let alone for correction. And I don't even know wheter she would give me another appointment ever again. I wanted to also send her a message to appologise, but I don't know if that would be too much apologising.

TL;DR: showed up late for a nail appointment because I missread the time and cried the whole time because I felt bad. Now I'm too embarrassed to go back there ever again.

Edit: I just want to thank everyone for heartwarming messages. It means a lot to me, especially since I expected a lot of negative comments because this is such a trivial thing. I am very tankful for your understanding and support and for not judging me. It really means the world to me.

TIFU by forgetting my purse and attempting to get fuel

Not the craziest story but hey. I'm obligated to say this was a few months ago but I cringe every time I go past the petrol station . My petrol was getting low, not dangerously so but it said 27 miles left, (oftentimes it then suddenly drops to about 16 for example, and then 5 and then 0 very fast) I didnt have my purse on me as I just didn't need it... Picked my daughter up from school and then went on to collect my 2 stepdaughters from across town and then set off for home. En route the gauge went to 7 and then suddenly it was 1 so I stopped at the petrol station near our house. The petrol was on 0 as i pulled up to the pump and that's when I realised I had no money. I left the kids in the car at the pump and went in to talk to the cashier, it wasn't mega busy but there was a queue, I'd heard that they can help you if you can't pay for fuel. Like keeping something of yours as security. It was an elderly man and he basically refused to help. At this point i...

TIFU - Don’t do what I did

On Sunday morning Aug. 24th, I awoke to discover a large blind spot in my right eye, which turned out to be what is called wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It has resulted in a very significant, permanent loss of vision in that eye. Although I maintain good peripheral vision, whatever I focus on at best is very blurry, and mostly disappears. I can barely make out the large E at the top of the eye chart. If this happens to my left eye I’ll be unable to read or drive. It turns out that I missed the opportunity that I had to prevent this from becoming a serious problem because I failed to report what appeared to be minor changes in my vision. In the weeks prior to August I had noticed that what I knew to be straight lines appeared to my right eye to have a little waviness. I also noticed that the color of my front lawn, which I could see through the window from my recliner,  was subdued, looked almost gray, in my right eye. So I scheduled an eye exam, which revealed the p...

TIFU by getting suspended for 2 days by my front office in school.

I (13M) am an African American student at Jeannette junior high who had got suspended for 2 days here. I was in math class minding my business until my teacher had told me to go to the main office, which posed no problem to me. As i went down there, the people of the front office had stopped me and made me get a new ID (yes, we have id's.) so i had asked them if i could maybe do a different alternative and call my mother to let her bring the Id here, even then, the Id isn't that important. So, although i was talking to them in a calm manner and not showing any signs of rebellion, they had threatened to call the police on me without thinking twice before calling my parents. This is where i started getting angry, and even then now the black peers agree that could have been a racially motivated action. They then told me to sit in the office conference room because of that, leading into more anger. They had then called my mother who had came over to the school didn't even let ...
