For example, today i nearly set my house on fire after forgetting a pan on the stove.

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.
Just scribble “fuck you it’s two dollars” on a napkin and scan that in.

I had sex with a girl way out of my league. Usually I fuck down.
I See what you did there
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)
Ohh, now it’s too obvious, thank you!
See, this is why I shouldn’t be browsing Lemmy when I’m high as balls.
I changed a native vlan on a switch. Took down an entire campus.
Easy fix?
Well. The management VLAN is within the trunk… So I had to walk out there and fix it via console cable.
Oh-ho-ho. Condolences, my net dude.
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.
“… The very pants he was wearing…”
Hopefully your vacation takes a turn for the better after all that.
fuck me, what a shitty week
Don’t jinx him or the universe will give him a sore tummy.
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.
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
well, i woke up for one
You’re not supposed to do that. Rookie mistake.
I saw online a cool idea for “pinwheel burgers” and wanted to make them for my kids.
- assembled them after work, had the younger one select and apply the spices
- discovered most of the veggies were dead, and I never bought Cole slaw or cucumbers
- put them on the grill but when I went to flip them discovered I’d run out of propane
- restarted with a new tank but went inside because of the heat and humidity
- came out to flip the burgers and discovered a raging fire, and burgers like hockey pucks.
Luckily I had sufficient backup but after anticipating a new variation of burger and a new variation of Cole slaw, we had dinner two hours late, plain burgers, no veggies
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 lol
I plan to have an automotive workshop when we build the garage, but that might be a few years away.
Does 1st still work? Reverse isn’t usually synchro’d, it’s just an idler for 1st to reverse the rotation of the output shaft.
If 1st still works, then your probably just chewed all the teeth off the idler, or shattered the gear.
Anyway. I’m impressed you managed to force it into reverse at highway speeds, that takes some serious strength (props to your shifter and linkages too), and your transmission is full of metal shavings at this point, so if you are going to drive without fixing it for a while, at least flush the fluid out.
Have fun using the Flintstone drive for reversing.
1st works fine. I didn’t force it, just shifted like normal, and knew something was wrong when there was a grinding noise. Hopefully we don’t have to push it. I once owned a stick shift car that the starter didn’t work, we had to push start it each time lol at least until I change the starter.
Yeah. You probably just blew up that reverse idler then. Not sure if that is easier or harder to fix TBH. Disassembling the whole transmission isn’t something I wouldn’t do, but I could see myself dropping in a junkyard transmission, and doing my clutch and rear main seal at the same time since you’re going to have everything off and drained anyway.
Sad thing is the car only haas about 60,000 miles and the clutch bearing died about a month ago. Wasted $2,000 to have a new clutch installed because I’m on raw land and i have not built my garage yet.
Once I build my garage I plan to have a concrete pad poured so I can add a car lift. Might be a few years until I can work on this car and it’s our only car at the moment and I live in the middle of nowhere.
But good news I did buy a pickup truck on Tuesday, they are mailing the keys, title, bill of sale. So hopefully by next week we have another vehicle to drive around here. Sadly the owner died, but that’s how I got a great price on it.
I too, killed the last owner of my car to get a good deal.
This is a bad fuck up :/ I’m sorry that happened to you, I’ve almost done it myself.
It’s been quite the downer lol running errands and parking in ways I can get out ha. 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.
Well, gotta take the small wins. It could have been worse.
Accidentally put a hot pan on the couch (don’t ask) and it BURNED A HOLE in the couch
Consider this me asking
Left my iron plugged in for a week without realizing it.
Accidentally caused massive heat wave. Sorry folks, but I unplugged it so temps should start to go down now.
You mind leaving it plugged in mid January and through Feb? Maybe cycle it a bit so we still get snow, but not below freezing temps.
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.
Was it a mistake because she turned you down or because she accepted?
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.
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.
Oof that is pain. I have started to just move to a local text editor when i realize the comment is getting long.
I have a window open in my preferred text editor that is perma-opened for ephemeral writing just such as you’re describing.
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.
Yeah, I wish there was a way to delete a post with out deleting it to preserve comments.
Maybe an “abandon” feature. It removes your user name from public view and does a simple find and replace to remove your name in the comments. The post can live on, but now you have nothing to do with it. The user would have a “abandoned post” counter, this so we know if a user is constantly abandoning posts and can block them. Or put a hard cap, more than 2 a month = banned from posting until mod appeal. Posts with 0 comments face no penalty and are deleted.
Someone still needs to be able reference to the original poster for modding and blocking purposes.
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.
Eh, the mistake was in engaging with a post that was surely about to be deleted by the OP.
