If you make a grave and extreme mistake? What do you do when running away is not an option?

Question

YOU made me giggle alot....You know who you are!!!!!

Answer 1

admit it and apologise

Answer 2

own up to it!  i mean your human your going to s***w up!

the ones who own up to i like having around because if they s***w up they will tell me and tell me how they plan to fix it!

if you screwed up then KUDO's learn something from it fix it and let others know how you plan on doing so!

it speaks higher of you then trying to blame it on someone else or making up excuses on how it looks!

last time someone made an excuse on why they screwed up i looked them in the eye and said ! Really your car broke down so that's why xyz happened? ummm so i guess it's all better then right!  is your car going to fix it?  "no" okay then maybe you should fix it!  

i don't trust anything that comes out of that persons mouth nor do i trust them with a larger project that would help them in the long run!  Why because they are making exscuses!

Lame and pointless i understand that no is perfect and i expect people to s***w up!  what what i hope is they come to me own up to it and be a man if you will and show me how they plan to fix it! Those types are the ones i want on my team!

Answer 3

Admit the mistake and do what you can to rectify it.

Answer 4

Either blame it on someone else or pretend you are insane

Answer 5

I think you've answered your own question. Without hearing any more details than what you've given in your initial question, you should confront the mistake you made. Admit that you made it and take the consequences.

Really, what else could you do? Are you thinking of blaming someone else?

Answer 6

Blame someone else that could be a figure of your imagination or example as happened to me today............. I have an extremely old father (90) but he has all his wits about him.  He pays his gas, electricity and phone at the Post Office with umpteen cards.  This is totally alien to me and only recently since his mobility became difficult have I been doing this.  He then scrutinises the receipts that all is in order. Also he is way, way in advance with everything.  Today I had to pay everything x 2. I told the teller to do it x 3 (I must have been dreaming). There was plenty in the account to cover this and when I realised my  mistake the teller said there was no way it could be put back in the account. I therefore told her just to pay 3 weeks of everything.  On returning to the car with my dad in it I said the teller made a mistake and this was the best way out of it.  He accepted that.  Did I do any harm?  My view it stopped him getting aggitated and 'the teller?'. He hasn't a clue who this would be.

Answer 7

Stay admit your mistake and face it and all its consequences with grace, humility and class.

then change and don't do that again.

Answer 8

You should start a cult called 'Sons of Sabuhura'

All dress as witches and sacrifice a small goat while chanting the 16 verses of Mobuhama

Then get them all to pay a £600 fee and fly off on the first flight to Fiji....first class of course....

Answer 9

Bake brownies and share with all those affected by your major booboo.

Crisis + Chocolate = Crisis averted!

Answer 10

Any mistake is grave if you think you have to hide it. most mistakes are only guilty feelings that you think will get you into trouble.What i do is be up front with it and treat it as a silly mistake and make light of it. Most of the time nobody has even noticed anything except you .Just carry one as if. Enjoy nobody is perfect.

Answer 11

Do what you can to put it right.................

Answer 12

Face up to it honestly, and openly. We all make mistakes and they're rarely as big as we imagine. The important thing is to learn from it. If you learn from it it's not a mistake, but a life lesson. Peace M.

Answer 14

Own up to it.  It's not easy, as I have learned from experience, but what else can you do.  Running away is never an option.

Expect the worst so that if I get out of it alive, then it's a step up from my expectation.

Answer 18

You should face up to the mistakes you have made. When you run from them they will eventually catch up with you.

What you should do anytime you mess up - take the consequences like an adult. Confess what you did and apologize, and make amends, if you can.  It's easier than running, and will earn you a better reputation in the end.
