I did something embarassing today

Hello I'm new to the community :)

I did something embarassing today, I accidentally overstayed in the library. I forgot the library closing time isnt in 5pm like in the weekdays, it was actually 4pm. The library staff looked at me weirdly, when I realized too late what the closing time was. I was too embarassed and guilty to apologize to them when I rushed to leave exactly at 4pm. They may or may not have announced that they are closing the library soon before, but I admit I was at fault for not hearing their call because I was wearing earphones with loud music. I still feel embarassed about it, I curse my time blindness and obliviousness. I was wondering if any of ya'll do not mind please share some relatable stories about yourselves as an autistic individual, it would help me quell my embarassment as one. Thanks:)

    Lol yeah I have a similar story. I once went into a bank immediately before closing so I could quickly get a deposit done and I startled a bank teller so bad that she shouted. I didn’t realize that I was all dressed up in winter gear in a way that I looked like a robber. Really awkward conversation soon followed. But hey, I got what I needed and that lady’s probably completely forgotten by now about the time she thought she was being robbed, haha.
