My Epic Reddit Fail
Anonymous Tipsy Prowler #257 · General
I'm a software engineer, and I've got this deep-seated fear of messing up in front of my peers. So imagine how mortified I was last week when I accidentally posted a comment on the wrong subreddit! I meant to post it in r/AskReddit about productivity tips, but somehow clicked over into r/CasualConversation where everyone was talking about their favorite TV shows. The next thing I know, there's this bizarre thread full of people asking me what kind of project management advice has anything to do with the plot twists on 'Stranger Things.' I tried to slip out quietly and delete my comment, but one user managed to save it before I could even blink! Since then, every time I go on Reddit, I get a ping for replies. Oh, the shame. Thankfully, no one seemed too bothered by it, it was more like amusement at this random engineer dropping productivity tips in their TV talk thread.
