TIFU by remembering the date incorrectly and lying about it

First of all I'm using throwaway cause I'm never letting this major L being linked to me

Story stars in mid June when me ( 25F) and my high-school friends planned a little get together after like 3 years of not seeing each other back in our home town. So we all payed like 150 bucks each for a cabin for few days. Back then I specifically put the date in the calendar in big leters because it's like 12 hour ride from where I live now.

Come back to few hours ago I get a message from my former classmate about when I will be arriving. Confused about what she is talking about I call her, the conversation going something like this ;

CL: So when are you coming? If you got lost you just need to ( general direction about how to get to the cabin ) Me ; ( realizing I have probably wrong date ) I'm sorry I won't be coming we had unexpected family emergency Rest of the convo was just that she was sorry I couldn't make it and me lying my ass off while panicking inside

After the call I checked the groupchat where the incial date was posted, hold and behold I wrote a completely different date down like two weeks later. So here I'm sitting not knowing if I should laugh or cry at the sheer amount of my stupidity. Could I have doble checked? Ofc Was the date posted like 30 more times? Ofc it was But I was so confident in having the right date that I told my whole family, planned around it and even bought plane tickets to not have to drive.

Ofc as a true looser I also didn't tell my family about my mistake, because it's too embarrassing to tell. And I basically wasted 160 plus plane tickets. The 160 I'm not getting back it would be shitty of me having my friends pay more because of my stupidity, but I'm thinking of returning at least the tickets after I told my family the reunion was canceled.

So basically I was stupidly overconfident while being wrong. My family thinks the reunion just got randomly canceled and if I ever meet my friends from high school in the next few years I'll have to think of some family emergency that happened. It might be stupid but I'm taking the truth to my grave. (Thx I don't have to be scared about someone posting photos from it on social media cause that would have blow my cover )

TL;DR: Me and my high-school friends were having reunion. I completely fucked up while writing down the date which resulted in me not getting there, lying that I could not come because of family emergency and lying to family that the meeting is canceled so that I don't have to spend a week alone in my hometown as a cover.

Edit : I cannot spell

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...
