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 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 ...
