dont you hate it with when you have a very important file in your computer and you accidentally deleted it. dont you hate it when you are typing something very long and your feet accidentally unplugged your computer because your feet moves too much. Dont you hate it when your cellphone got a huge crack because you accidentally slipped in it your fingers,Dont you hate it when you accidentally plugged a 110 volt appliance in a 220 volt plug. I know I should not be hard on my self when accidents happen but accidents, even the harmless minor ones suck. I dont know if overworking is making me clumsy but in the last few days, I had been nothing but chaotic. what are the most stupid minor mistakes that screwed you up the most? what is the worst thing that happen to you because of your lack of focus or tiredness?

I hate what I'm posting something I accidentally hit the back button. I wish the computer had a feature that said, "Do you really want to go back?" like it does when you try closing multiple tabs. That would save me a lot of work and redoing.

I hate it when the cat jumps on my lap and then on to the keyboard. She can wreak havoc in seconds with four feet on the move! The worst thing that happened to me was when I was pregant and almost due to give birth. My husband and I had recently moved into a new block of flats, he was on night duty and rather than stay in by myself I had visited a friend. I came home in the dark and went to open the front door, but the lock seemed stiff. I put that down to the flat being unoccupied for a while. I went upstairs to get help and a young man gallantly came to my rescue and climbed into the flat via a veranda with a door opening on to the bedroom. To my horror when the door was opened from inside he was not alone! It was the wrong flat and he had been mistaken for a burglar! Fortunately my condition was very obvious so no fuss was made about it, except that the flat was in a military area and word got round like wild fire -my husband knew all about it when he came home thye following morning...

Something that is very fresh in my mind right now. Yesterday, I was on the phone calling for a walk-in bath tub company. I forget what the customer said, but it was a not interested but when I let her go, I realized that was one I could have saved and possibly turned into an appointment. I'm not sure that would have made a difference but today I was brought into the office explaining that the company had spent way to much money and they had a terrible month and she had to make 3 cuts and I was one of them. Out of the 3, I was the one she hated to cut. I sounded good on the phone, I have the drive and would probably done good. Anyway, I'm out of a job again.

are you telemarketing? I had been there before and its one of the most traumatizing jobs I have. calling people and offering them services or products is something I dont want to try ever again.

I just accidentally deleted all of the custom content of my sims 3 game,and it sucks that i have to download them again one by one or my game will be messed up. 4 days ago, I accidentally cut my finger with a knife because those onions are distracting me,

I know,Murhpy's Law. When everything goes bad,it goes real bad. The annoying bugger is you have only no one to blame but yourself over it. as much as you don't want it to happen,it does and it only goes downhill from there.

I am trying to be optimistic as possible, but I am surrounded but such negative people.

I was very sleepy and tired....I was trying to cash from ATM, While on the booth, the machine didn't like to accept my card, Then, I was trying to figure out if I was doing it incorrectly, turning my ATM card to different sides after the other. All of a sudden man from Outside the ATM booth knocked I was a bit annoyed, it is my turn why in a hurry, then pointed the ATM Machine... hahahaha I was inserting my ATM card to the slot where the receipts are coming out. The man was pointing where I should place my ATM CARD. Embarrassing stupidity.

Yes, when you are posting a long response back in here, or a long discussion you are starting and then there are glitches in my end, it can be frustrating. I often wish there was a way no matter what you are typing it could be saved so that you could still submit it without having to type everything over again. Just helps teach yo;u to be a little more cautious next time, and hope for the best.

I learned my lesson here, before I post a response or create a discussion,I copy paste them in note pad just in case mylot have those annoying errors that we always have whenever the site just have made payouts, I think glitches always after payouts. It is better to be safe than sorry for sure.

By now I don't hate it anymore. What happens to me is that I deleted all pictures of the past year. I thought I did upload them all (my pc was on whole night) to order a print of them online. So I deleted them from my computer (and out of my camera). Well it happenend, can't change it anymore but I think we all will survive.

I wanted to multitask in the kitchen and actually ended up wasting my time. My tea was on the stove, on its way to become my evening love. Meanwhile I thought to fetch myself some cookies and crunchy snacks. The first container I opened was not the one which had what I was looking for. Completely engrossed in my search, I forgot about my tea, which by then had overflown and started to spill out of the kettle. Everything was messed up, just because of my stupidity to act smart. Hey BTW, now I have become good at multitasking and these things don't happen anymore.

at least you are still safe because I remember a neighbor of mine who forgot the fish he is deep frying and you may already know what happened to his house.I do multitasking as well but I try to be careful not making a mess, I have to remind my self if I have forgotten something because taking things for granted really does ruin a lot of things.
