Emergency brake error.

If you are leaving the parking lot right after getting your windshield replaced, check to see if your parking brake is on. Just because your car isn't moving doesn't mean it's broken. And then it will be embarrassing when you go inside to complain that the repair guys broke your car and the receptionist tells you the parking brake is on.

Never ask a simple, quick question about a credit card at your bank. They will keep you there for half an hour explaining the details very thoroughly.

Don't over-stuff your pantry and fridge. You will knock your spaghetti off the shelf and it will spill all over the floor, then you'll be frustrated from cleaning it up. Then, less than five minutes later, your jar of jelly will get knocked out of the fridge and painfully land on your foot before it shatters on the ground.

Don't read analog watches when you're tired . . . you'll read them wrong.

Make sure to press the "on" button when setting your alarm to wake up. Otherwise you will wake up, glance at your watch, and rush to work because you are late. Then you'll look at your watch again once you are driving to work and realize that you are about to arrive an hour early to work.

If there is a yellow sign posted in front of the bathroom, read it. You might assume it says "caution" when it actually says "closed". When you walk towards the bathroom to go in it the custodian standing close by will tell you that it's closed. Then as you walk away they will talk to their co-worker joking about how nobody can miss the "closed" sign.

If you decide to wear a sweatshirt with no bra to class, make sure the classroom is going to stay cold. Otherwise you will get hot and won't be able to take the sweatshirt off.

Don't jump up the stairs in the dark.
