I printed 200 labels at work all with a typo on it, so I had to print 200 more. Good thing the only thing that cost me was my time lol
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
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.
Bought a new car on the spot after a test drive. Most stupid decision of my life. It was only a week after I had wrecked my longtime car. Must have still been in some kind of weird mental state, although I felt fine at the time. Don't do that. Do not. Do that. Test drive, think about it, go back if you're still interested. You'll thank yourself.
I was replacing the runner lights for our stairs and was having some resistance pulling, so I tried pulling the other way. It’s currently stuck and I’ll need to take off a section of molding to push it back through. At least I did the other side correctly
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.
I left the hot water running in the kitchen sink for like 20 minutes and it steamed up the place.
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.
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.
I woke up to yet another day
I washed my dish towels with a yellow orange bag and now they're super bright yellow lol
Many years ago there was something weirdly wrong with our old washer or dryer where white things occasionally came out stained bright pink. Not an overall tint like if you wash a cheap red shirt in the same load. It was always very distinct vivid stains, like if a little Pepto Bismol got splashed around. We never figured out what the hell was causing it.
