Tell us about a messed up thing you inadvertently did to someone
Probably early high school years, so mid to late ish 90s, I can't recall the exact video game but it released that day and a buddy and I were trying to track down who had a copy.
I call Gamestop at the mall which is about 45 minutes away. They go check in the back and come back and say they don't have any available as they only have 1 but it is reserved for "Cindy." I don't recall the name, but we're going with Cindy for today!
So my buddy and I hatch a plan, and we start making the drive to the mall. So about 30 minutes after my first call, my buddy calls and says his Mother Cindy had saved this game but she was unable to pick it up and asked if he could pick it up instead. Gamestop says "sure come on over"
So we show up, mention that we called and my buddy's Mother Cindy had the game saved, and they sold it to us, no issue.
I sometimes wonder about that poor kid who wanted to play that game that day, or how confused Cindy must have been, and the poor minimum wage Gamestop workers we duped that probably had to deal with the wrath of Cindy.
I'd like to make this my official apology, I won't do it again!

It had to be 1999 if it was a Gamestop. Babbage's didn't turn into Gamestop until 1999.

I ran an R&D center in Palo Alto. There was a sales office in the building, but they didn’t report to me.
One day I got a call from the head of sales. He was laying off one of his salesmen. He said he would handle the firing. He just wanted me to gather the guy’s personal belongings and give them to h when he showed up next time.
The sales guy got laid off, then goes to the doctor and finds out he has brain cancer. He goes home and commits suicide. No one tells me. 2 days later the guy’s wife shows up to get his personal stuff. They send her to me, and I have the most awkward and terrible conversation I’ve ever had with anyone. She couldn’t figure out if I was insane, inhuman, or both.

In college I was waiting tables and a couple came in and apparently it was the guy's birthday...the asked the woman at the hostess stand if they do anything special for birthdays and they said that they have a big cake in the cooler for them (to be fair our cakes were in fact pretty big for a freebie item)
So they tell me they had a big cake that was in the cooler so I go grab a cake that some customers had brought in themselves for a bigger table and bring it to them.
So someone probably dropped 50 dollars on a cake from ambrosia and these idiots are getting it for free. Looking back I can't believe they didn't say something. They had to have known that wasn't a free cake
Watching the other server freaking out looking for the cake for his party was pretty funny though. F that guy

My buddy was in a serious relationship with a girl and he was really crazy about her. His girlfriend had a best friend who was rocking the northeast corner of the hot/crazy matrix. One night the hot/crazy friend cried into her beer and told me about all of these personal problems she was having with her family and a bunch of other things. Just sort of normal life struggles.
Well a little while later I'm hanging out with my buddies girlfriend and I mention how her friend had told me about how she was going through a rough patch and was in a bad place. The girlfriend replied "oh, she told you about working as a prostitute for an escort service?"
WTF???? Now this girl had told me about a lot of her troubles but never mentioned having to work as a prostitute. I didn't want to embarrass my friend's girlfriend by revealing that she just let that whopper slip so I just played along and said "yeah she told me about a lot of stuff".
Well, the girlfriend talks to her whore friend about their little secret and my coverup lie and determine that the ONLY way I could have known was if my buddy told me. His girlfriend goes on the warpath and dumps him. He's devastated but never tells me why because he assumed that he did tell me one night when he was drunk, which he didn't - his stupid girlfriend let that cat outta the bag. Dude gets depressed, moves out of town and struggles to rebuild a new life and I didn't realize why until a year later.

Cruising through a residential neighborhood and a family is outside. Suddenly a weiner dog dashes out and I smashed him in front of the kids. I wanted to stop but my idiot buddy told me to keep going so I did. 30 years later I still regret not stopping to apologize

I gave a not so inadvertent one, but I do have an inadvertent one as well.
In high school senior year, about 10 of us to go Hooters before an away basketball game in New Orleans.
We get the bill and it's for around $50 total or some shite, something obviously wrong here. Around the same time, 2 dudes near us had an incorrect bill for an amount that was more in line with ours, so we're talking to them and realizing this.
There was some sort of issue where the server girl wasn't really helping us and wanting is to figure it out on our own, even though we kinda did.
So at one point, 1 of the guys in my group took the lead and told everyone to go to the truck(technically 2 trucks), and he was just going to pay the entire bill, and we could all pay him back before the end of the night and split it up evenly, we all agreed.
We're all walking to the truck and all of a sudden our buddy who was paying the bill comes out of the doors sprinting and just yelling for everyone to get in the truck and go!!!!
Funny thing is, we're all confused and shite but also dumb high school kids so we just followed his lead and took off. As we get out of the parking lot and onto the road, we see like 4 Hooters servers in the parking lot looking at us.
I guess my buddy taking the lead and saying he'd pay the bill had had enough of the run around we were getting and just decided for the group that we'd all take off without paying...and well, that's what we did.

Back in the day my young cousins were out playing in their front yard with their family dog, a Doxie. It happened to be running excitedly in these circles like dogs do sometimes and inadvertently ran into the street and was hit and killed by a car that did not stop. There were two guys in it. They were devastated.

When I was in college, I played golf a lot. One day I was with a buddy of mine and we were looking for my ball in the rough after I hit a huge drive. We see this guy pretty close to where I THOUGHT my ball landed and he picks up what I thought was my ball. My friend says “that sonofabitch just picked up your ball. You going to let him get away with that shite?”
So I go running up on this poor guy and get in his face about stealing my ball. He goes into his bag and hands me 4-5 balls and walks off. As we walk off, my friend said “oh shite, look there’s your ball right there.”
Yep, I felt like an arse.

Wife did this to her ex, trying to help.
Seems dumbass clipped his nutsackbadly while manscaping. She applied a pain relieving spray that should have numbed the are. Instead it burned like acid and stuck to his pubes.
He begged her to please stop helping him and stumbled off to fall in a fetal ball of manly agony.

About 40 years ago (when the drinking age was 18 in Louisiana), it was the summer before my friends and I started college at NLU. Most of us had been drinking a good bit for at least a year by then. It was easy to get. We are all at orientation in Monroe and there is one friend when always didn't drink. She didn't want to. Well, another friend and I talked her into drinking. She got drunk that night and pretty much couldn't quit after that. That fall, at Lemert Hall, every night she'd be drinking one of those big old bottle of Miller or sometimes even Old Milwaukee. She became an alcoholic and it was like she knew she should have never taken that first drink. She just couldn't quit.
She has since gotten her life back together. I still feel horrible about it, but there's no way we could have known it would turn out that way.

Some people do it out of habit. Some companies require all vehicles on their property back into their parking spots for start purposes.
And frankly, with modern backup cameras, it’s quite easy to back into a parking spot.

It was a rule at the school. Every student had to back in to parking spaces.

Nice thread. Advertently seems to be more apt for some. Go right ahead, no complaints, more!
The only thing I got: When I was young, at a friend's house for a birthday. I wanted a piece of cake and for some reason cut it round (inadvertantly;). The mom sees this a little later and freaks out. "Who cut a circle out of the cake? Who does that!?!" I was embarrassed, but nobody saw me do it.

One time in high school, three buddies and I were out partying and gettin high as a kite. We ended up at one buddy's house, Now this buddy's family was of very meager means. Anywho, this buddy proceeds to talk with his mom in their living room for quite a while. Meanwhile, us other three stoned-arse teenagers are in their kitchen. His mom had this gigantic pot of chile beans on the stove, and the three of us just totally went to town on it, probably ate the better part of half of it. Next day our buddy says his mom says that giant pot of chile beans was supposed to be their whole family's dinner for like the next three days, and she was beside herself.
