I had a difficult travel planned and scheduled with another person, with several other people involved to ride and pick us up.

For some reason, I was convinced, for two months, that the flight was going to be today. I didn't check.

Well, one night at the hotel later, standing in the airport and not seeing my flight on the board I checked the tickets for the number, and thought I'd vomit and pass out, because the flight was, in fact, yesterday.

I had never done something like that before. I tend to be more or less punctual and careful, always checking everything several times, just to be sure.

Around 500$ down the drain and a lot of utter embarrassment. Not mentioning all the plans that I had. Kind of want to be beaten.

TL;DR: mistook the day of a quite an important flight, missed it.
