The Mrs woke me up this morning at about 6:45,

her: “I’m just getting in the shower I’ll wake you at 7:30 “
Me: it’s Sunday you know
Her:eek:h yes silly me

couldn’t get back to sleep after that.

got me to thinking about one time the end of season football tour to Spain. Coming back a rather loud Scottish team mate of ours was getting a bit impatient at check in with the assistant when she couldn’t scan his ticket. A rather loud, unsympathetic round of applause broke out when she said sir your ticket is for the 28th today is the 27th. Oh how we laughed as he had to do the walk of shame back down the queue past us all.

anybody else had similar mix ups ?
 
lad I worked with when we were apprentices was picking me up for work at seven one Sunday morning, the clocks changed Saturday night and he got the change the wrong way round. He was throwing stones at my besroom window two hours early. Not happy.
 
Few years ago the brother in law got a 3 day break for 4 in Devon and invited me and my wife. Arrived at the hotel to be informed by reception we were 1 day early. Fortunately the hotel wasn't that busy and they managed to change our dates.

best story ever!!!
 
Mate of mine booked an apartment in Amsterdam for a three day stag weekend......

when we arrived we found it he’d booked the wrong year and we were 365 days too early.
We ended up going twice.
 
Similar vein (ish) I was working in Bangkok in the 90's and rang my Dad up one weekend. 'What did you do for Easter' he said, what do you mean, I replied. Easter had been and gone a couple of weeks before + I'd worked Good Friday and Easter Monday without knowing..... Couldn't possibly happen now :)
 
Booked a surprise holiday to Italy for me and my daughter. I’d booked the hotel through Trivago, something I’d never done before so was unfamiliar with the booking process. I thought I’d seen the confirmation email and accepted all was fine. Arrived in Verona at midnight to be told by the hotel that I hadn’t actually booked and the email I had received was just a confirmation of the booking request. Someone had beaten me to the last room so therefore the hotel was full. Luckily they put us up in one of their upmarket apartments for one night and we managed to get into the hotel for the next 2 nights.
