| 2 days ago | comment | added | Suhail Nazir Khan | 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. | |
| 2 days ago | comment | added | Barmar | This 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. | |
