panic

Someone on AskReddit asked for parents that accidentally switched their kids to share their experiences. Can't imagine the kind of embarrassing panic that must've ensued after these discoveries. 

A health scare and a failure to read the product description left this guy with 40 packages of some of the hottest ramen on the market, which this dude is determined to finish on principle. Recent panic buying also led to this petty revenge of a toilet paper hoarding Karen.

Well isn't this just someone's worst nightmare. Can you imagine being busy trying to figure out the gift process for this upcoming Christmas, when suddenly you drop the kind of microSD card that could trigger a full family meltdown under the tree. And to make matters even more nightmarish, you have no idea where it is. 

This guy unknowingly left his girlfriend at a random gas station out in a desert in Arizona. From the moment of his panicked realization to when he went and rescued her, he drove faster than he ever had in his whole life. Apparently he assumed that his relationship was up in flames due to his forgetfulness. 

If you've ever had your schedule at the beckon call of a city bus, there's certainly a time when you've cursed God for being seconds too late. This story at least makes up for a few of those times. Nothing rings in the ears of a malicious driver like the phrase "I am taking this bus." Tumblr is home to a wealth of fun stories, like these ones about genuinely innocent dude stories.

That loaf of bread ended up being way more invaluable than anyone could've known. This sounds like a bit of a panicked nightmarish situation with the good old grandparents! 

This is an actual waking nightmare. Just imagine it; you're taking care of business and end up wiping yours off of Google cause of a mortifying fail. You might actually get a secondhand stress sweat just reading this guy's emotional rollercoaster story. 

These panic-stricken employees found themselves smack dab in the middle of some terrible fails! Fortunately, it sounds like they got away with the Fail, and that's the biggest Win of all. 

Back when we were stupid-ass kids we thought we could pull one over on our parents, but dear god could we not. And that mortifying moment when they figure out you've screwed up hard core... it's like your soul is leaving your body. They shouldn't expect much from us, here are times parents realized their kids were utter morons.

Sometimes you find yourself caught up in the middle of a moment that is edging toward dangerous catastrophe. Maybe your gut instinct kicks in, and adrenaline rushes through your veins, but deep down, you know it is time to get your butt out of wherever you're at! These panicked people found their nerves shot, and escape being the only thing in their minds. 

These people got caught up in those moments that are deceptively, absolutely terrible. 

Hopefully you've never experienced anything close to the paralyzing levels of embarrassment these employees did, when they got caught up in f**king sh*t up beyond repair.
