I was poor back then and that was the last food I had. So I got to be bitched out by my boss AND more or less dined on the concept of bitterness and disappointment on my lunch break.

I has one similar to this but with bacon grease. Normally let grease cool before putting in plastic bag and tossing it. Forget to let it cool and have grease and plastic all over floor
Not really a fuckup but I guess just disappointment.
Ton of family over for the weekend, get drunk so they all spend the night.
I wake up extra early and start cooking breakfast for everyone because I figured it would be nice to have after a good night of drinking. There was roughly 8 of us and I decided to make the works making a full breakfast some top-notch sausage gravy with biscuits and making some toast eggs bacon sausage. Everyone wakes up and starts their morning but all of them politely decline my breakfast and move on with their day to leave. Everyone except my mom. End up beating that breakfast as leftovers over the course of the next two days.
( I know it's not because I make shit food because I'm actually pretty good at cooking)
