Many of us have had what what 00s teen comedies would describe as "a record scratch moment." A certain moment directly as something is going wrong in which time stops and you think: "how exactly did I get here? I think I might have screwed up." Record scratch moments can happen in just about any instance of mistakery, be it when you drive up to your house only to find it burned down, when you are actively being electrocuted, or when you go to the bathroom and slowly realize that the burning and itching is only getting worse.
Even after the problem is solved or runs its course, it's impossible to forget that moment of realization. And there are only two benefits to having these memories. The first being that we have a better idea of how to not make the same mistake again, and the second being "at least it's a decent story."
So here are the stories of times people found themselves in a terrible job interview, breaking the law in front of a cop, or hearing an explosion and thinking "man, I have definitely just screwed up."
For some more goofs and foibles, here are times the universe messed with one person exclusively.
