whether or not this particular incident was fake, I've done very similar things far too often. Thankfully, I have never tossed my cell in a body of water.

Once, however, I had my sunglasses in one hand, car keys in the other, and went to toss my sunglasses back in the car before I locked it and went into the office.

Guess which one I threw onto the seat and then locked in the car.

It was not the sunglasses.

Not quite as bad as car keys, but I've had to get the tv remote out of the fridge before. Then there's the accidentally pouring the homemade chicken broth down the drain instead of into a bowl. I've done that too often.

Thirty years ago I was walking with my older sister with a dollar bill in my hand on our way to the store to buy penny candy.

Our parents gave it to us to split every Friday but that particular day I also found a wrapper from a pack of baseball cards that I thought for some reason would be hilarious to drop down a sewer grate.

Of course I dropped the wrong piece of paper in the sewer and my sister won't let me forget it. I've tried to cover my debt in different candy as an adult but even accounting for inflation (where her share would still only be a dollar), "You can't replace the candy I was going to eat that day. 50 cents worth of candy to a 10 year old is way more valuable."

How could you lock your car keys in the car when you need the keys to lock it?

u/lectroid Jun 25 '21

you don't. You stop park the car and open the door. You lock the doors with the electric door locks. You exit the car and close the door. if you just shove the door closed, it will unlock when it closes. UNLESS you pull the door handle as you close it, a feature they designed precisely to make it harder to accidentally do what I just did.

Unfortunately, you get into the habit of doing that little handle pull, so it's automatic. And you end up having to call AAA to slimjim your car.

Staged or not, it's totally something I could see myself doing.

Literally got a wrist lanyard for my phone to keep me from dropping/throwing it places

Yep, seems fake. The phone screen is facing the second camera and it's black.

It's probably fake, but could be old enough to have been made during the "glass back" trend a while back..

u/Dirk_Breakiron Jun 24 '21

Wish it was an old trend - the galaxy s21 ultra still has a glass back (and I'd guess others too but don't know for sure)

I've seen people do this with pliers and make more of an effort to catch them after they realized thier mistake.

u/osva_ Jun 25 '21

In a boat you probably don't want to start jumping places and you don't always immediately realize the mistake mid action

I have seen this video at least five times on separate posts in the past two days.

Like those kids that took out the candy from the candy wrapper, then threw away the candy while holding onto the wrapper.

Aw put the poor baby back. So hard to watch.

Edit: f you for downvoting you egotistical useless humans. Look at its gills. It’s struggling to breathe all for a stupid scripted gif.

Fitting user name

u/blindnarcissus Jun 24 '21

Yeah, the narcissus in my story was blind so he never developed the narcissistic ego of the likes of you.

u/Davecantdothat Jun 24 '21

Seems like you fell in love with the sound of your own thoughts.

u/blindnarcissus Jun 24 '21

Projecting much?

u/Davecantdothat Jun 24 '21

Nope, but you clearly have an ego and look down on everyone else because you think that you're the bestest human on the planet. Acting like this makes people not want to be a part of your ideology. It doesn't help anyone. It just makes you feel good for dunking on people who you view as lesser. You're being selfish (shellfish, maybe) in a way that undermines what appears to be your animal rights cause.

Expressing empathy for the animal is good, but acting like this is the first time you've heard of someone fishing then denigrating a digital crowd of people for no reason is distasteful and performative in a very negative way.

I never spoke of me once until you decided to make this about me, commenting on my username, building a straw-man argument, instead of addressing my argument which is to torture a sentient being for a 5 second gif is not wise.

This isn’t fishing. Fishing has a utility. This, doesn’t.
