MODERATORS
"Why are you so lazy/clumsy?"
Basically any time I forgot something, misremembered an instruction, or didn't read my mum's mind to divine what she specifically wanted done, to her satisfaction.
Why yes, I do enjoy just crashing into things for fun, or making an awful racket/mess because I accidentally hit the table with my cup.
Been told here on Lemmy "What if you just tried" or something like that. I'm already doing things I was not meant to do, it causes an instant impulse to strangle someone.
