How did you fuck up recently?
-
For example, today i nearly set my house on fire after forgetting a pan on the stove.
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.

I ate too many blueberries yesterday and regret it today.

I was clearing some brush with a machete, 6 stitches in my shin.

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

I bent over the sink to clean the drain and threw my back out three hours before I had to leave on a business trip.
Had to cancel the entire thing and spend the next day on my back.

I set some humming bird food to boil a while back. Got distracted in the other room and smelled smoke. Went back into the kitchen and couldn't see the stove there was so much smoke. Then the smoke alarm went off. Very effective. Took hours to scrub the burn sugar out of the pot and days to get rid of the smoke smell in the house.
Pro tip, always set a timer when you walk away from something on the stove.

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

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.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]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 wouldn't attribute a fuckup on your end though. Just really unfortunate and depressing. Caused by someone else.

Are you blue?

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

How is it possible to regret eating blueberries? Like, I need more details.
