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.

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 changed a native vlan on a switch. Took down an entire campus.

Well. The management VLAN is within the trunk... So I had to walk out there and fix it via console cable.

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I See what you did there

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Wait, how is that a fuck up?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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] 6 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

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?

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.

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
