    I planted hydrangeas in an area with too much sun exposure and they're getting scorched leaves while I wait for shade cloth to ship

      Wrapped my 4yo in a big towel on the way back from the hotel pool and shortly after challenged him to a race to our room. He immediately tripped on the towel and hit his head because his arms were under the towel. Fortunately just got a bump and some rug burn on his forehead

        If it makes you feel better, most of my major fuck ups are cooking related. I was boiling down some dr. Pepper for jerky marinade and fell asleep. Didn't wake up to alarms until my wife woke me up. Pretty embarrassing, and really makes you doubt your own ability to do things. Eventually you get over it and just get cagey about the very specific lead up steps, which is probably a good thing.

        When I was living in a boarding-school like arrangement for people with disabilities once, they had really sensitive smoke detectors and if you tripped them needlessly, you were in for a hell of liability, because they immediately caused complete evacuation pocedures and an automated emergency call where not just a small contingent of firefighters were called. One night, one person forgot their pasta boiling on the stove and fell asleep on the couch in exhaustion - so deeply and long, that all the water boiled away and the noodles burned and tripped the alarm. That exhaustion cost them several thousands of Euros.

          Caught my shoelaces in my bike chain trying to avoid a shitty driver who almost ran me off the road (I did successfully not get hit by this idiot and eventually got him to realize how bad he was fucking up, yay).

          Tired of this bullshit and am probably going to convert my bike from chain and derailleur to belt and hub like I have on my Priority Folder.

                Forgot a lunch box for weeks at work, and then they threw it out while I was sick, so now I have to buy a new lunch box.

                  I wrote a long thoughtful reply to a heavily downvoted post only to find the post had been deleted before I could hit submit, and I hadn't copied the text.

                  I have textarea cache browser again installed (on desktop) for those rare cases where I want to recover text input.

                  I wouldn't attribute a fuckup on your end though. Just really unfortunate and depressing. Caused by someone else.

                        I have a window open in my preferred text editor that is perma-opened for ephemeral writing just such as you’re describing.

                            Recently? The worst was accidentally drinking coffee too late in the evening a few days ago, which, sadly, was more than enough to mess up my well-being for several days at this point in my life.

                                My work decided to close for Juneteenth, but then I had to come back on Friday, and I told everyone I was going to request that Friday off so I could have a four-day weekend for the price of one day of PTO, and I forgot to do it, so I had to work a weird bizarroland hellscape Friday where we had just had a day off so we have like a little bit more energy than usual, but then the weekend is also about to hit so everyone wanted to leave, but everyone also wanted to get all of their work done, so for me it was just a fucking nightmare.

                                  I didn't know this was possible, could you share what you think the critical amount is?

                                  This is obviously a fabrication. Blueberries are delicious and there's no too many about it.

                                        I have a specific file for this purpose too! For anything longer than 10 words really. I hate it when I accidentally hit enter in those little chat boxes.

                                          Very minor, but I very recently changed deoderant after not being able to find the one I usually use. I just got to a clinic for a medication infusion and it has completely worn off, being replaced by the smell of stress sweat from traffic, and now this poor nurse has to smell me while I get my medicine, so I am mortified.
