Attending a wedding, the couple had slips of paper on each table to write down song suggestions for the DJ. Midway through the evening I had a suggestion come to mind. I wrote it down, put the slip of paper in my pocket, and then walked up to the man's table.
I told him I had a suggestion while holding out what I thought was my suggestion slip, but was actually a $5 bill I had in the same pocket. Needless to say he was more interested than I was expecting, told me he was thankful, and asked which song. I confusedly looked at what I thought was the suggestion slip, and then realizing my mistake, I put the money back and pulled out the real slip instead. I then kinda awkwardly mumbled my mistake, and walked away.
Thinking back I don't know what I could have done to save the situation. Flashing money is not at all like me so I had the initial gut check reaction to correct my mistake, but I also realize how cringy it is to take back what he thought was a tip.
TL;DR: I accidently gave money to a DJ before taking it back as my way of correcting my mistake.
