One Saturday morning, TikToker Ashley (@healthybutno) accidentally crashed a kid’s birthday party because she thought the family was having a garage sale at their house. It was one of the most embarrassing experiences of her life.

So, that day, she decided to take her two kids out to visit a bunch of garage sales since summer was the season for them.

She followed the signs to various garage sales and browsed through the items, searching for good finds. She ended up buying a shelving unit, which she was really happy about.

But on the way home, she saw a bright, colorful sign with pink balloons attached to it. She didn’t actually read the sign because she assumed it was advertising another garage sale.

She turned down a road and noticed several cars lined up and down the street. She also saw another of the same kind of sign.

She pulled up to the house, parked, and got her two kids out of the car. There were many people in the garage and a lot of kids playing outside. The adults kept giving her strange looks as she walked up the driveway, but no one said anything to her.

As Ashley scanned the garage, she thought it was weird that none of the stuff was on tables. Everything was just out in the open, and she didn’t see any price tags. Then, she noticed a little girl wearing a birthday crown and other kids wearing birthday party hats.

Finally, Ashley put two and two together and realized that she was not at a garage sale. She had just walked into a stranger’s garage and crashed their daughter’s birthday party.

She quickly apologized to the nearest adult, wished their little one a happy birthday, grabbed her kids, and drove away as fast as possible.

Many TikTok users raced to the comments section to share their stories, demonstrating that this type of mix-up is actually pretty common.

“We had a stranger walk into our house carrying a casserole dish on Thanksgiving. She got all the way to the kitchen, put her dish down, and looked around. She then realized she was at the wrong house,” commented one user.

“One time, I saw a sign for an estate sale. There were a bunch of cars parked in the driveway where the sign was. I walked into the wrong house, without knocking, to a family eating at their dining table,” shared another.

“I went to the wrong funeral. Two funeral homes on the same road. I didn’t know my friend’s family well. Realized it when I went to pay condolences and it was not my friend’s husband in the casket. Omg, I was so embarrassed,” added a third.
