Make A Mistake

We all screw up. (I don't care what you say, @Secret Chief , its not just me who does this.)

When did you make a mistake? What happened? Was it resolved?

I put this is the General Discussion area as opposed to Games/Jokes/Stories to allow for both serious and silly answers.

Well, there was a time when I was the baggage claim at an airport, and I mistakenly grabbed the wrong bag, thinking it was mine. It looked like mine, and I saw mine down the line, so I quickly I realized I made a mistake. The owner of the bag saw me, and I apologized and told him I made a mistake. He said "that's okay, it can happen to anyone," then took his bag and went on his way.

Sometimes I make mistakes when I'm driving.

I also have the occasional mental lapse (which some people might refer to as a "brain fart"). Sometimes I might backtrack and retrace my steps to see where I made my mistake or how it might have happened.

Use any and all pronouns including neo and it/it's
@Secret Chief. Im sure this is a joke but imma act as tho its serious...Your pronouns are whatever annoys me most...pronouns dont annoy me much. Do i refer to you without pronouns just your username since no pronouns annoy me or could I have fun annoying other people by mixing up multiple pronouns in a sentence?

Just too many, but here are a few. :rolleyes:

A friend had just bought a motorbike (Ariel Arrow, so quite nippy) and showing it to me in a basement carpark he offered for me to have a go on it - even though I had never ridden a motorbike and didn't of course have a licence. I should have declined. As expected, it was too nippy for me, and upon braking, and the ground being rather slippery (oil etc.), I put it on its side. :eek:

Riding a motorbike on an apparently empty main road too fast and not expecting a combination of events that should have seen me killed - and which I have commented about before on RF.

Riding a bicycle on a relatively quiet town road and adjusting some new gears recently installed, such that I rode into the back of a parked car even though I knew it was there but seemingly my head was elsewhere. :openmouth:

When did you make a mistake?

It was the past Friday night when I made a mistake.

What happened?

There is an Extra Reading class that I teach only on Friday nights at one of the two academies where I work. I walked into the room, greeted my students, and placed my folder on the podium, which is the usual thing. As I opened my folder, I was talking to a student and/or flipping through the book that we have been reading. Then, another student asked, 'Teacher, there is Monthly Test today?' In reaction, I looked at a copy of our schedule in my folder and I noticed that there was a Monthly Test for that class on that date. 'Oh, no... ****!' My face instantly turned red in embarrassment. I did a double facepalm and went on about how I forgot to finishing making their test and that it reflected badly on me. After taking the name of Śiva a few times, I told them that we would just read the next few pages of the book.

Was it resolved?

Fortunately, yes! The idea came to mind that considering that most of the test was already made, I could delete the two incomplete parts, print it out, and hand it to my students in less than five minutes. So, I told them that that was what I would do instead of having everyone read. As I opened the door, the manager was standing in the hallway, he came near, and I explained to him that I forgot to finish making the class's Monthly Test, most of it was complete, and that I could print it out. He replied, 'Take your time.' I walked across the hall into the teachers' office and he walked into the classroom. I did what I had to do and was back in class in less than five minutes with their test. In the end, the students took their test and finished it. :)

It's not intended to annoy you. It's "inspired" by those who insist on a simplistic binary human world. Feel free to say you'd prefer I ditch it... :)

I turned the wheel to fast on a golf cart yesterday in the am. It rolled over onto it's side.

My partner's beer spilled, so I purchased a replacement to resolve the damage that I caused.

I just made a horrible mistake, my mistake. I typed "seem" when I meant "seam" in another thread.

Hmm, last night I started a thread about an interesting article I wrote. The title was supposed to be "Zapping red mud for fun and profit". Perhaps the site has gremlins since my title, it could not have been my fault:rolleyes: came out:

Whoever came up with the names for dyslexia, stammer, stutter, lisp, dodecaphobia, Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia, lambdacism, and aibohphobia made a mistake...probably intentional but was very cruel regarding It.
