1This isn't happening in either of the OP's examples. They didn't do anything wrong because they were in a hurry, it was other people seemingly conspiring against them.Barmar– Barmar2025-11-28 14:58:34 +00:00Commented 2 days ago

I think in the OP's examples there's an element of helplessness due to outward circumstances. It's nothing to do with their making mistakes, so this doesn't quite work.Suhail Nazir Khan– Suhail Nazir Khan2025-11-28 14:58:39 +00:00Commented 2 days ago

3As other comments point out, these don’t fit the examples in the question body. But they are excellent for the question as phrased in the title.PLL– PLL2025-11-28 21:27:01 +00:00Commented 2 days ago

This is more like measure twice and cut once and stuff like that, for knitting three arms in a sweater or whatever. But not my downvote.HippoSawrUs– HippoSawrUs2025-11-30 09:02:43 +00:00Commented 17 hours ago

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- Review existing tags and read their descriptions to learn when they should be used.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. single-word-requests), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
