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 - 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 ...

TIFU by putting my already skinny jeans in the dryer on high heat.

TL;DR: Was stupid and didn't realize I put my clothes on extra high heat in the dryer. Had to rock skintight skinny jeans all day with tighty whities (only clean pair I had since I procrastinate doing laundry like crazy). I guess the constant wedgies and squishing are punishment for my stupidity. Honestly don’t know who else to blame but myself for this. I’m a scatterbrained guy so I literally put the highest setting on a load with most of my clothes, and my skinny jeans that I was planning to wear today. You can probably already see where this is going, but somehow I didn’t. For context, these jeans were already pushing the limits of what could reasonably be called wearable. They fit, technically, but only in the sense that I could get them on with enough determination and a bit of strategic breathing. Sitting down in them was more of a commitment than a casual action. Still, they looked good, and I had convinced myself that discomfort was just part of the aesthetic. So this m...
