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 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...
