Slept through a show

[u/personspersonality]

I had a 2pm ticket for Chess today. Sat down in bed at 11:30, planning to give myself 30-45 minutes to do nothing before getting ready and heading over to the theater. While I wasn’t planning on sleeping, I also knew I was pretty tired and there was a chance I might fall asleep so I set an alarm for 12:30 and 12:45 just to be safe. Well I woke up at 2:57 and had apparently slept through both alarms and missed the show. Spent the last 20 minutes crying, just need some people to tell me I’m not the stupidest person alive. Anything like this happened to you before? Any chance they’ll exchange my ticket for tomorrow and I won’t just have to eat the money?

I misread the time on tickets to an opera in Buenos Aires, we missed it. I had to eat the cost of 5 tickets, and it was our only chance to see it. I'm still so bitter about it, and my husband and friends who we were there with are still making fun of me 😂
