Hello and welcome to the CRS podcast. In this cringe-filled episode, we dive into the story of

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:10,560
a guy who made the ultimate mistake, confusing his girlfriend's sister for his girlfriend.

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:16,320
What started as a casual evening turned into a mortifying disaster when he draped his arm around

4
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:20,400
the wrong woman. So this happened last night and I still can't look anyone in the eye.

5
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:24,480
It was over at my girlfriend's apartment for dinner. She shares the place with a younger sister

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:28,960
who's visiting for a few months while figuring out her next steps in life. Let's call my girlfriend

7
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:34,000
Anna and her sister Lila. I've met Lila maybe twice before but we've never had a full conversation.

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,040
Just a hi. Nice to meet you vibe. Dinner was great. Afterward, Anna said she was going to hop in the

9
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,920
shower before we watched a movie. I stayed in the living room, scrolling on my phone. A few minutes

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:50,000
later, I heard the shower stop and someone walked past me in a baggy hoodie and pajama pants. I assumed

11
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,360
it was Anna since Lila had been in her room all evening. Here's where it went south. The Anna,

12
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,760
I thought I saw sat on the couch next to me. I casually draped my arm over her shoulders and

13
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:06,480
leaned in saying something cheesy like, hey, you smell nice. Well, she froze like absolutely stiff

14
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:11,520
as a board. I thought she was messing with me. So I gave her a playful nudge and added, don't be shy.

15
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:16,560
Then I hear Anna's voice from the hallway. She's standing there with her hair in a towel, looking

16
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:21,040
at us with the most bewildered expression. It hits me like a truck. I look down at the person next

17
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:27,920
to me and realize it's Lila. Lila, my brain immediately short circuits and I jerk my arm away

18
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:34,000
so fast I almost dislocate my shoulder. Lila's face is bright red and she stammers. I just came out

19
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,280
for water before bolting back to her room. Anna just stood there for a second, processing the chaos

20
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:44,720
and then burst out laughing so hard she had to sit down. She said something like, I leave you alone

21
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:49,600
for five minutes and you're already making moves on my sister. I tried to explain, but the words

22
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:53,680
came out all wrong. Like, I didn't know it was her. I mean, I thought it was you. Not that I was

23
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:59,040
trying to know, wait, Lila hasn't come out of her room since. Anna is still teasing me about it.

24
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,720
And now I'm dreading every family gathering for the rest of eternity. TLDR thought my girlfriend's

25
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:10,560
sister was my girlfriend, put my arm around her, and now I'm too mortified to exist. So you think

26
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:16,560
the embarrassment would end there, right? Wrong. It got worse. Anna, being the chaotic spirit she is,

27
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,520
decided this incident was too funny to keep to herself. The next morning, I woke up to her

28
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,560
absolutely cackling on the phone with her mom. She was telling the entire story word for word,

29
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,680
down to the part where I said, hey, you smell nice. I'm lying there, dying inside because now

30
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:37,200
her mom knows. I can never show my face at their family dinners again. But Anna wasn't done. Oh no.

31
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,920
Apparently, Lila texted their older brother about what happened. And now he's in the loop too. By

32
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:47,680
lunchtime, the family group chat is popping off with memes. Memes. One of them photoshopped my face

33
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,320
onto that Spider-Man pointing meme. You know, the one where two Spider-Man are accusing each other

34
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,480
of being the imposter, except the caption read, when you can't tell your girlfriend from her

35
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:02,320
sister. But the cherry on top came later that day when Lila finally emerged from her room. I tried

36
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:07,600
to apologize like really apologize, but she wouldn't make eye contact. She just said, it's fine,

37
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:12,320
don't worry about it. And then added, I'm staying with a friend for a few days. She left the apartment

38
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:17,120
guys. I scared her out of her own home. Anna thought this was hilarious, but I felt like an

39
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:22,240
absolute monster. And just when I thought I could escape the situation, Anna's dad called me. He's

40
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:27,920
this big, intimidating guy who's always been nice, but kind of reserved around me. I figured he

41
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:32,800
wouldn't talk about the incident. So I was bracing myself. Instead, he goes, so Lila told me what

42
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,200
happened. Just remember, you only get one strike. Then he hung up. What does that even mean?

43
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,320
Am I on probation now? Do I need to wear a name tag with Anna's boyfriend on it at family events

44
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,840
to avoid further mix ups? Now, every time I go over to Anna's place, I'm triple checking who's in

45
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:53,840
the room before I even look in someone's direction. The trust is gone, man. TLDR update. Anna's entire

46
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:59,040
family knows there are memes her sister moved out temporarily. And I'm possibly on probation with her

47
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:09,040
dad. I should probably just dig a hole and live in it forever.
