I had sex with a girl way out of my league. Usually I fuck down.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

I See what you did there

[-] [email protected] 1 points 10 hours ago

Wait, how is that a fuck up?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 7 hours ago

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)

[-] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Oh-ho-ho. Condolences, my net dude.

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.

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.

Hopefully your vacation takes a turn for the better after all that.

fuck me, what a shitty week

You're not supposed to do that. Rookie mistake.

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

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

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

I can see you on the hill
Comatose but walking still
Curves beneath your flowing gown
Only I could bring you down

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

[-] [email protected] 4 points 14 hours ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 9 hours ago

This is a bad fuck up :/ I'm sorry that happened to you, I've almost done it myself.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

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.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 8 hours ago

Well, gotta take the small wins. It could have been worse.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Their choices are not your responsibility.

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.

I once forgot to turn off a stove burner and burned a hole in an oven mitt

[-] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Done that before. It scary

[-] [email protected] 10 points 20 hours ago

Accidentally put a hot pan on the couch (don't ask) and it BURNED A HOLE in the couch

[-] [email protected] 10 points 15 hours ago

Consider this me asking

[-] [email protected] 14 points 22 hours ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 8 hours ago

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.

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.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 17 hours ago

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.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago

I did nothing to improve my situation

[-] [email protected] 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Posting online that Luigi did nothing wrong? Social Credit™? Flagged.
