How did you fuck up recently?
-
I had sex with a girl way out of my league. Usually I fuck down.
I See what you did there

I'm on vacation and I stepped on a red anthill, and by stepped on I mean I sat on a ledge with my foot hanging over the anthill for about 10 minutes before stepping down onto it.
Stuck my foot in the pool to try to get rid of them only to ruin my only pair of pants and walking shoes I had for 3 days before we could do laundry/get the shoe dry. Also they just do not sell afterbite where I am so I've been trying different shitty creams that haven't done much for the ~15 ant bites I have on my leg.
Also this was a few days after I forgot one of our travelling phones on a bus and it was not recovered.
Also, it was my only pair of pants because I had ruined my other pair of pants when I slipped and fell into a puddle.

Yesterday I didn’t sleep, it was hot and couldn’t sleep.
Got up at 4am, went to work, ran errands. Then as I was driving I put the car in reverse in the freeway instead of 6th gear. What the fuck. Grinding noise.
Turns out the car no longer goes in reverse. I believe I bent the teeth in the synchro gears.
Fuuuu, need to pull the transmission and take it all apart. I don’t even have concrete or anything yet. I have lived here 6 months on raw land. I guess for the next few years I need to push the car if I get stuck lolI plan to have an automotive workshop when we build the garage, but that might be a few years away.
This is a bad fuck up
I'm sorry that happened to you, I've almost done it myself. -
My friend wants to play games with me last weekend, but I completely forgot. It's something she wanted to do for her birthday since we're states apart and our schedules are weird. She said she's fine, but I can tell I disappointed her by missing such a simple request and I feel absolutely terrible.
However, it was a wake up call. I've been very lethargic and tired, but I just kind of ignored it, but it's now affecting my friendship, so I'm going to try to make some changes to help with my energy. I don't want to disappoint her again if I can help it.
I think I'm in a similar situation, and I totally get how your condition affecting others is a way bigger motivator than it affecting yourself. I just wish I could tell my subconscious that I'm actually a friend, as well

My wife keeps saying at least the car didnt leave us stranded, and we can still go out. We live in the middle of nowhere. -
I made a move on a coworker I really like. Asked her if she wanted to fool around because I thought I would only be around for another week or two. But now that I've found a new place to live around here, it made me realize how shitty my train of thought was to put her in that sort of position.
Perhaps. But you realize it now, and you also have the opportunity to take things in a different direction if you want.
Communication is important. Admitting when you did something that you think is wrong is good, we all make mistakes. Tell her that you're sorry and why, and let it be. Either she will forgive you and you guys can move forward if it works, or she won't want anything to do with you, and both are fine. Emotions are complicated.

Wait, how is that a fuck up?
Play on words. They're saying that fucking someone lower on the 0-10 hotness scale is fucking DOWN, so fucking someone hotter is fucking UP (I don't really use that scale lol, just easiest way to describe it)
-
For example, today i nearly set my house on fire after forgetting a pan on the stove.
Bumped into something sharp and it cut me. No biggie. Except for the part where I haven't self harmed in 3.5 years and it looks EXACTLY like something I would've done intentionally. Mildly triggering. I'll live though.

By stepping back into an abusive relationship and not knowing how to get out without fear of the person committing suicide and leaving 3 children with no parent.

Their choices are not dependent on your choices.
You choose your own actions. You don't control theirs.
Fear is just a feeling, don't let it control you or stop you. Face it. Deal with it. Don't listen to it.

OMG. I worked on lawn care as a teen. I still to this day avert my face away from anyone weed whacking. Received many hits to the face even with safety gear.
I know right? I wouldn't even use a weed-eater in shorts, let along a bathing suit. What got me was the contrast between the bikini and the goggles & gloves lol.

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.
Had a colleague who went on leave and had probably $50 of lunch in the work fridge.
New admin assistant says we have one work day to get our stuff out so she can clean out the fridge, and his stuff was all tossed.
If they'd given more notice, we probably would've had time to get our stuff out then ask whose food that was, and realise it was old mate's.

Ohh, now it's too obvious, thank you!
See, this is why I shouldn't be browsing Lemmy when I'm high as balls.

That's just anarchy, wtf.

I changed a native vlan on a switch. Took down an entire campus.
Oh-ho-ho. Condolences, my net dude.

fuck me, what a shitty week
Don't jinx him or the universe will give him a sore tummy.

I think that's why some of them smell like cherry coke - though I've never noticed a garden millipede smell that way.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]yea the smell of almonds is H-CN being produced, its nowhere enough to become toxic to people. i remember theres a video about lemurs getting high off of the millipedes secretion, i assume its hydrogen cyanide.

I can commiserate… One time I fucked up my back by picking up a loaf of bread. I had just worked an extremely heavy shift at work. Slinging +200 pound pieces of gear overhead, lots of bending and crawling around, etc… I was gross after work. Climbed into my car, toweled off with some baby wipes, and headed to the grocery store on my way home. I just needed milk and bread.
So I make a beeline to the dairy section and grab the milk first, then swing by the bread aisle on my way to the registers. I bend over to grab the bread from the bottom shelf… And I feel a twinge in my lower back. Just a small little tug. I stand back up, and start heading to the registers. As I continue, the twinge gets worse and worse. I didn’t even make it to the registers. I quickly found myself wishing I had grabbed a cart, because I needed a walker to stay upright. I had to abandon the milk and bread in the middle of the store, and slowly hobble back out to my car.
That was on a Friday evening, and naturally my doctor didn’t have any appointments available until Monday. So I suffered all weekend. Monday finally rolls around, and the doc basically goes “oh lol yeah that just happens sometimes. Have you tried taking any ibuprofen?” Uhh excuse me. What the fuck do you mean that just happens? Can we make it not happen?
He says it is extremely common for industrial athletes to injure themselves after work. During work, they’re careful enough to not injure themselves. They’re warmed up, they do team lifts, they’re careful to use proper lifting form, etc… Then they get into their car, drive home, cool down during the drive, and then get injured by something stupid and small (like picking up a loaf of bread, or bending over the sink) because their cold joints basically go “nah I already worked enough today. I’m just gonna rip instead of stretching.”
I was out of commission for a solid two weeks, all because of that loaf of bread. That was about a decade ago, and my back still gives me issues occasionally.
If my doctor said it's extremely common for industrial athletes to injure themselves after work when I pulled my back out getting a loaf of bread I might well have killed them even with my back out.
If you have a issue with your back that's serious enough you can put it out getting a loaf of bread it's not that you weren't being careful enough, or didn't stretch first. You probably injured it at work and just finished it off at the grocery store.
I was working at a office supply store. The inventory manager did an all hands they decided they were going to restructure the warehouse storage. We were moving a wall of filing cabinets in the back to a different wall. They weren't incredibly heavy but they were very bulky and we were stacking them on top of each other. Essentially lifting a four-drawer filing cabinet and setting it across the room on top of another four-drawer filing cabinet. Like many times in my young life someone said "wow you're really moving stuff above your class, I didn't take you for being that strong" and that was all I needed to push myself way past the limit. I left there feeling great.
I stoped by my old job to hang out with some friends went in the back to help him clean up, finished my back off just lightly sweeping, next thing I know I'm laying on the ground barely able to breathe. That was 33 years ago. I've been put out of commission by that same exact injury on my back probably a dozen times since then, once by sneezing while sitting. I learned about 15 years ago that if I fuck it up bad enough, the disc leaks and the fluid erodes nerves downstream which gives me radiating pain which puts me out of commission for a few days to a week.Quick tip though, since COVID-19 it is possible to get a telehealth visit while your back is out. They'll usually make you show them how you have to get up off the floor, and they'll generally issue you something to at least alleviate enough of the pain to let you get up and down. They're generally apprehensive to give you serious narcotics, but they'll generally at least give you a reasonable muscle relaxer.

Bought 2 bananas and 2 apples for work, but forgot to take the receipt. That small 2$ mistake, was apparently enough to make our "smart and automated" accounting system brick itself. Woups.
