The "I screwed up and I know it" thread

[roachcoach]

I made a rather hefty screw up this morning that made me think of starting a thread like this.

We all have accidents/misjudgements where we screw up, we're only human, I thought I'd make this thread so we can share our errors (preferably harmless).

Mines this morning was misjudging what the car in front was doing/not expecting him to slow down to get into the slot I had planned and as a result my needing to barge in far too close to a lorry and take a slip at a terribly obtuse angle.

So...my apologies to the folks who thought I was a proper ahole - because I sure did.

Hopefully I wont need to post back in this topic for some time!

Me too, only makes then shame worse.

I could reel off a bunch of mitigating circumstances but they really don't change that I screwed the pooch and had I not, those circumstance wouldn't have mattered.

Oh I know. I know better. Just one of those moments in life where your brain up and departed and didn't leave a memo.

Acknowledging your mistakes makes you a good driver. For example when someone does something stupid and you express your frustration, and they go mad at you, those are bad drivers.

I usually apologise if i do something daft. Rare occurance mind, im a driving god, buy my cars with cash only, massive in the trousers, like the mx5. You know proper ph'er.

As do I, it often placates people who acknowledge back. I actually have a lot of respect for the drivers that pull some wide stuff, then acknowledge it.

'Cept this morning what I did was so farking retarded tehre was no time for any of that. Honestly, still embarrassed by it.
