What's one thing you've messed up in a silly way?

I've been playing Stardew Valley for a LONG time. Soooo many hours. However, I have these moments where I've messed up my flow of things in the game because of real life. My hilarious example of this is that I gave Clint my pick axe on a Thursday and I knowwww that in the game, it would be available in two days for pick up but having that be the weekend, my brain said, "nah, you can't get that because work can only be done on business days". Because of this, I missed out on good luck days for the mine on the weekend and it just had me thinking, how many other people have had similar things where they missed out on something because real life rules bled into the Stardew Valley world. I'm curious!

I gave golden biscuits to many animals, before selling them. Because i forgot to stock up on small animal products range first (milks and eggs), before acquiring the animals i wanted for finalizing my design and "synching" them to produce at certain days, in groups.

I will find more biscuits and already have quite many, even for ponds, but those wasted ones would have brought me that much nearer, to feeding everything that can do that with a bisquit!

I gave clint my watering can to have it upgraded to the golden one. Completely forgot about it for 3 in game weeks, so for me that was probably 4-5 real days. I looked everywhere for it when I finally needed it again, in my workshop, my house double checked my inventory a dozen times. Nothing. It wasn't until I went to upgrade my axe that I was handed it back 😂
