Example:
TIMU by ruining a movie shoot with Jennifer Aniston
TL;DR. I somehow found myself as an unknowing extra in a movie shoot, and completely ruined the shoot by trying to escape from the situation.
I had plans to meet up with some friends in Atlantic City for the weekend. I got a late start, so they were already gambling somewhere in the Taj Mahal. I had been there once before, but didn't really remember the layout, except for a long escalator that led down to the casino from the lobby.
I parked my car and walked quickly from the parking deck to the lobby. On my way to the lobby, there was a crowd of people gathered behind a security guard who was holding some caution tape across the hallway. He let a bunch of people in and, of course, I squeezed through as he was closing it off.
That is where things went sideways. I saw a film camera in the lobby, and thought, "huh, they must be filming a commercial for the casino or something.. wonder if I'll be in it?" But before I could finish that thought, everyone around me in the entire lobby froze in position. A second later, someone yells, "ACTION!"
I start walking alongside a person who was next to me, and ask him quietly, "I'm not suposed to be here, am I?" He immediately shook his head no.
So, I see the escalator to the casino about 20 feet away.. and two 'extras' are about to get on it. I think to myself, "if I can just get on that, it would be my escape from ruining whatever they're doing in the lobby."
I make a move, get on the escalator, and start taking a few steps down. SUCCESS! I didn't screw anything up!
After a few more steps, I catch up to those two people who got on the escalator before me. And they're blocking the full width, and NOT WALKING! I mean, come on!
Only at this point, do I see the boom microphone, the camera panning down with them, and the crowd of 150 spectators at the bottom of the escalator. Then someone yells "CUT!", and the two people in front of me turn around.
Turns out those two jerks blocking the escalator were Jennnifer Aniston and Gerard Butler, and I completely blew up their scene. There was nothing I could do.. I just said, "Uh, I'm sorry." I figured there was no point in explaining my series of bad decisions. Butler laughed, and we completed the rest of the very long escalator ride in awkward silence.

That was only an example.
Like this one:
TIMU by trying to play my dad’s didgeridoo.
TL;DR - thought I could play didgeridoo, inhaled a mouthful of spiders.
So my dad has had this didgeridoo in the house since he visited his sister in Australia 10+ years ago. My parents wanted to go out for a walk but I decided I’d eaten too much cheese. While they were out the internet went down so I was sort of wandering around looking for something to do when I spotted the didg. I thought to myself in all these years I’ve never actually tried to play it (it’s more of a decoration and I barely take it in when I see it) and maybe it’s time. I pick it up and put it to my lips. I felt like I knew what I was doing and that it was similar to playing a trumpet and wanted to play a long, loud note.
I take a sharp inhale and immediately feel something hit the back of my throat. I splutter really hard and a small white globular thing comes flying out and hits the floor. At first I thought it was saliva and ignored it as I had a weird sensation in my throat and mouth. It felt like tingling to start with but grew into more of a tickle on the inside of my cheeks and a bit on my gums. I glance down at the white stuff on the floor and see several baby spiders crawling out of it and in all directions.
The second I clock what’s happened I feel something tickling my top lip and slap my mouth with my hand. I have a squished spider on my lip and instantly go into panic mode. I run into the bathroom and spit repeatedly into the sink to see crushed spider bodies and some severed legs, some of which are still attached to parts of the body and are trying to drag themselves away from the plug hole. I urge several times and then frantically swill my mouth out with water. I don’t think my mouth will ever feel normal again.

TIMU - I just realized that my underwear is on backwards. I'm at work, with knee high boots on. It's too much effort to fix this problem.6
