MOMENTS WHEN YOU WISH YOU HAD CTRL Z IN REAL LIFE

There are babies who hit a newspaper because it doesn't work. The poor things are so used to their parents‘ iPad that such a paper rag is just pointless. Well, I can tell you, there are also moments when I wish daily technology applied to real life. Hmm, does this bridge actually make sense? Anyway, these are the situations where I would really like to press Ctrl + Z so that nothing has happened.

The ex
To start with the biggest cliché, right? You run into your ex and instead of producing normal sentences in a very mature and controlled manner, you can't get past awkward babbling and end with “uhm yeah well bye!” and you walk away quickly. Wait a minute, what just happened? Erase erase!

The awkward moment
You've built an amazing sandwich for yourself, a big glass of tea is ready, and you're getting ready to enjoy it all on the couch with your favorite series on. But then you trip over your laptop's charging cable, causing the full cup of tea to spill over your MacBook and your avocado sandwich to sadly splash on the couch. Everything gone, everything messy, can we do this again?

The store
You've been trying on clothes for so long that you no longer dare to say no, so you just pay for those way too expensive pants. It happens in a haze and once outside you think: “but wait a minute, this wasn't the intention?”

The pub
It's Friday night and you're at the pub with friends. The next day you have a ton to do, so you decide to take it easy, until friend 1 (it's always the same one who does this) holds a round of shots in front of you. And that, that is the beginning of the end, because before you know it, you're spinning pirouettes in the night disco that's open until 6:00 AM. Ctrl + Z and away with those shots please.

The missing document
You've been struggling for days on a particular piece that has a tight deadline. When it's almost finished, you take another look and make some drastic changes – now it's really good. And then, you click it away in a hurry and say ‘no’ to the question of whether you want to save the changes. Really, it happens. And then everything is gone. EVERYTHING. And then you're just sitting on your MacBook but in those situations Ctrl + Z doesn't work.

The cup of coffee
There are always those people you know, but you'd rather not spend too much time with. And what's more, you avoid them whenever possible. But then you run into that person and before you know it, you say ‘yes’ to the standard “Let's grab a coffee soon!” So now you're stuck, that person keeps emailing/texting you for an appointment. Why did you say ‘yes’?!
