Honestly is the best policy in every situation, if you find yourself trying to weasel your way out of a mistake just bite the bullet and deal with it head on and admit your error.
People will trust you and I haven't found too many people that can't understand an honest mistake. Some errors are worse than others and you may even get fired but your next job won't know what you did!

That depends entirely on your job and your mistake.
I’m pretty sure everyone knows where Bill Cosby went wrong.

Just be aware, if someone says "hey you did something wrong that upset me". Sit back and listen, don't get defensive about what you're going to hear. If you acknowledge your actions lead to what happened, whether it was small or a large part, have the self-awareness of that things you do may upset other people. If you decide to double down and not admit fault because you feel your perfect in every category, don't be surprised when coworkers alienate you or ask to not talk to them about anything.

My boss is very open about his errors and weaknesses and where he is dependent on us. I've got his back every time
