26 Once-In-A-Lifetime Mistakes People Made Twice

Few things are impossible. In fact, there are entire scientific theories and phenomena that prove while something is unlikely, it can still happen. Life experiences are no different, and the following Redditors managed to not only make incredible mistakes, but they also doubled back to accidentally top their personal best (or worst, depending on your perspective).

Case in point: One Redditor was in the middle of ironing when the phone started ringing. Instead of picking up the phone and answering it, they mistakenly put the iron to their left ear instead, burning it. When they tried to call for an ambulance about their now-crispy left ear, they managed to repeat the same exact mistake, burning their right ear as well. We can only hope they’ve since invested in a steamer. 

Other Redditors have shared the mistakes they’ve made not once but twice, including drinking an earwig, chewing glass and falling out of an airplane.
