Bad decisions deserve good stories. Share what happened, what you learned, or the part you can finally laugh about. Your mistake might give someone a laugh—or save them from making the same one.
Why a dollar? It helps support the site and adds a small pause before posting: “Is this a story I want to share?” We think your best worst decision deserves that much.
I tried to look busy at the coffee shop by opening Excel with random numbers. The barista leaned over and said, "Cool, same spreadsheet template as last week." I had been coming daily. I paid for my latte, tipped twenty percent out of guilt, and never went back to that block.
Last Tuesday I joined the wrong Zoom and stayed for ten minutes because I was too embarrassed to leave. They were deep in quarterly targets I had never heard of. I nodded and said "great point" twice. When they asked for my numbers I faked a bad connection and hung up. Still cringe every standup.
