F*cking up
Do it with style, see the humor in it. Act immediately to ease the consequences as much as possible. Acknowledge your wrongdoing and say sorry (just once). Bridge attention from the trouble, don’t stuck in the situation. If being reprimanded, ask whether the other person has never made an honest mistake. When you make a considerable error at work, talk to your mates or family about it. Be lenient on other people’s faults without being a people pleaser.
