To ask when you were last totally and utterly wrong?

Lighthearted:) there was recently a thread about Vinted where I declared I hated it. I was so wrong. I am converted. I read some responses and decided to give it another go after one bad selling experience followed by another bad buying experience. Currently staring at a pair of Karen Millen Stillettos barely worn that have arrived and I will be wearing to a wedding next week... they cost me £4.50 and let me tell you they MAKE the outfit. I love it. When were you last so wrong and how did your life change after?

Not really an aibu I shamelessly want traffic :)

This is SO cool haha! Any stories of where its had catastrophic effects lol?

Show quote history

mainly badly for the outcome of my experiments and for new grant applications (and therefore my job). In my defence, they are always hypotheses that are well grounded in the literature, but it just goes to show how little we know about the brain!

So many to choose from...

I thought COVID wasn't a big deal and everyone was over reacting Blush

I thought Crunchie Rocks were a brand new invention when they were in fact released in 2010 and I'd just never noticed them before.

Those are probably my two biggest clangers from the last few years.

I thought that the brother in “The Gentlemen” was Kevin from Motherland (well… the same actor) but I didn’t have my glasses on.

I need to get glasses 🤓

Thanks- you’ve ruined Daniel Ings for me forever!! I actually think he should have played Ed so that’s something the casting director got wrong!!

I work in hospitality so public facing (as the name suggests) I'm always wrong, regardless of the situation 🤣

I ordered the wrong pizza this evening. So many regrets.

I said Justin Bieber would never be famous because Bieber was a silly surname.

I insisted to my husband that a particular song had been a hit in 1987 but it was in fact a hit in 1988.

There was this one time when I thought I was wrong but I was mistaken. 🤣
