That moment when...

Any cringe or chuckle worthy moments that make you question your sanity as a player, post them here!

- You chop down the entire forest you had grown for harvesting saps because you need to shift the trees 2 tiles to the right
- You get to Robin's place and realize that you failed to bring all the materials you need for what you wanted her to build. AGAIN.
- You realize you are WAY better at picking out gifts for the townsfolk than you are at picking out gifts IRL.
- You redo the whole day because you accidentally gifted away the wrong item.
- You get excited or disappointed by a fish on the line long before it's caught because you can identify the fish based on their movement patterns in the minigame

 

OKAY WELL
I HAVE A STORY
A SHORT, TERRIFYING STORY

So, it was a normal, summer day as usual. Kissed the husbando, pet the children, gift the husbando, hearty slap on the booty before leaving for a day of tough-yet-rewarding farmwork. Fed the animals and opened the gates, harvested the crops, got my cheese n' mayo, etc. etc. Went out mining for much of the day, chopped some trees, foraged some goods. Time to head home.

I was extra tired that day. 6: 30 PM. Time to close the gates for my sweet animals. Did 'em. It's the one time I didn't check if all of them were inside, but I had faith. My animals were good and hardworking. They were my precious babies.

I go back home. Kiss the husbando again. "I'm going to bed early," I muttered to him. I didn't feel like goin' to the saloon and getting friendly. My person craved the cushiony bed to sleep.

And so I did.

Which then followed THE MOST TERRIFYING AND PAINSTAKINGLY HORRIBLE SCREECH I HAVE HEARD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE
WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT??!? /? ? ?
I RUN OUTSIDE
GO CHECK ALL MY BARNS
ONE OF MY CHICKENS IS MISSING?!?! ONE O F
MY CHICKENS
WA S
MIS IGNI NGGLF
Apparently... one of my chickens was not in the coop. The ONE TIME I don't check to make sure they're in there.
Mayonesama. My sweet, sweet Mayonesama. I could not live without that chicken. I couldn't.
It was the only time I ever reset a save. Thank u so much CA for having a backup save.

Mayonesama is alive... and clueless. But I...
I remember everything

 

This is to terrible, but I don't think I've laughed this hard in my life :'D Tank goodness for the backup save tho

 

i tell tales of my suffering to educate and entertain others

you are now the wiser, my friend *throws magical dust*

 

On my first save, I romanced Elliott. It was rocky (heh) to begin with, where I attempted to gift him a beer and accidentally handed him a rock. Well, great, that went well. But it was nothing to start over from. Later in the game, I had my bouquet, planned to give it and a lobster to him after his (spoiler) 8 heart event of his book reading in front of everyone. Super romantic, amirite? Well, I tried to give the bouquet first, not really paying attention, to my horror, he looks mad and says to me: “This item gives me a terrible feeling. I'll have to dispose of it.”

What.
WHAT.

Well, as it turns out, my friend who I was sharing screens with on skype (as she didn't have the game, but wanted to see the event too) begins to laugh, and goes "YOU GAVE HIM ANOTHER FUCKING ROCK". Among my inventory beside the bouquet was an assortment of things, such as this morning's harvest, some blackberries, a pile of wood...
And rocks.

I've never been more ashamed in my life.

 

Mayor Lewis and Marnie's relationship is cringe-worthy, nuff said.

 

Another happened to me just now:
-Spirit's Eve at 10 pm
-Finish work at 6 am, have nothing to do
-allow game to go unpaused while window is inactive
-forget about game
-load game back up
-can't close it before night saves
-fml

 

My classic one I've spoken about on a few other threads was getting engaged to Elliott, then thinking: "Right, once I'm a married woman I won't be able to give guys gifts without my husband getting jealous, so I'm going to go on one last gift giving spree while I can still do so without consequences," only to discover fiances take flirting with attractive available people who are not them as badly as husbands do. How could I have predicted that? No, you don't have to be suspicious of me Elliott. Have a pomegranate. Do you love me again now?

Even limiting my gift giving to birthdays hasn't given me awkward-free moments. One fine summers evening was spent walking in circles trying to find Demetrius so I could give him a birthday present, eventually discovering him in the saloon with Robin. So I run over holding my gift, click and Robin thanks me for the nice gift. I gave Demetrius's birthday present to his wife instead. Thoroughly embarrassing, so you'd think I'd be careful not to do that again but next spring I ended up giving Evelyn the diamond I was trying to give to her husband for his birthday. Oh well, at least both wives liked the gifts I had intended for their husbands.

 

So it was long before i finished up my greenhouse quest, i planted my ancient seeds on the outside farm.

I usually put waterpail and pickaxe next to each other on my item shortcut. So anyway, i highlighted the pail, my finger whoopsied away, highlighted the pickaxe instead, and *pow* in slow motion. There goes my last ancient fruit seed. It took me a really long time until the travelling merchant finally sell an ancient fruit...

 

In almost every cutscene, the player character comes out from a bush. Our character must be a stalker.

 

OH MY GOD! What you said about forgetting which items you needed to bring Robin! Over and over and over again! I even kept messing up thinking all I needed were the ores as opposed to the bars. Finally after 3 years of being a dumb dumb I just started to bring any and everything that could be used for building/crafting.

Running out of space in my inventory when there's only ONE more crop left to pick.

Going back and forth between all my chests, convinced an item has disappeared only to realize it was in my inventory the entire time.

I've said this before, but that moment..... that stupid freaking moment... when I finally realized you can hoe/water more than one square at a time. That took three years.

I'd have to say the most frustrating thing for me is having to click for what seems like hours buying things in the shop. This REALLY irritates me. I attempted to to do the 33 stacks of 999 rocks for staircases in the cavern, but I got so bored after 15 stacks worth of clicking I just gave up and settled.

 

I was working on building up some friendship points with the town folk and I started getting pretty cool with Seb, he ain't all mopey once you get to know em. Figured he and I could be good buds, we liked some of the same stuff and what not.

It was his bday one day so I gave him some sashimi or whatever it's called (I had a mod that removed limits on gifts). A few em cuz he's my bro and all.

Then, one evening, I'm trotting along the back road around Robin's house then bam, cut scene. We go on a pretty sweet motorcycle ride to see the city on the horizon, buuuut I started getting suspicious. This was like a Ron Burgundy move to take someone out to a secluded place for a pretty view. Least he didn't tell me that San Diego, in German, means a 'whale's vagina.' >.>

We're chit chatting about life and the future then suddenly he comes up to me and gives me a big ole kiss on my helmet and I'm like, dude wth, this ship don't sail that way. Plus, smoker's breath, dude. That's why I carry some gum or a tictac to cover my smoker's breath on a date. So rude and inconsiderate!

Gosh.

Ride home was pretty awkward. We didn't talk for awhile. But, one rainy evening, after coming from the mines, we ran into each other. Awkward eye contact, but instead of briskly walking away, I decided to let bygones be bygones. We hung out for a few, I fished, he smoked. We're good friends again. Though, no more evening bike rides for this guy. Even though it was pretty smooth move.

Game must've glitched with that mod and made him go to ten hearts or something. Or I'm really just that darn awesome and pretty. I'll go with the latter.

 

If you hold down shift when buying something, it'll buy 5 at a time It definitely makes things quicker

 

Fishing in front of villagers, for me, is always an awkward thing. Are they judging my (sometimes lack of) fishing skills? Another, that happened today, was trying to make an iron bar, with copper, and only smelting two copper. I facepalmed, and quickly went and smelted another copper. D'oh!

 

This was painful to read. My poor heart couldn't take it

I may have swooned once or twice, totally platonic tho yeah but that's why I don't get friendly with any bachelors. It goes south pretty quick!

 

some of these amuse me, mostly because they happened to me, so many times I've waited until the last minute to upgrade my tool only to get to Clint's at 3:50 without the bars I need. I was watching my husband and he put a wall right in front of where you come in to the farm when going behind Robin's house, it didn't seem to matter he passed right by it but apparently forgot and went that same way he was immediately stuck on the fence after doing all the work he had to finish so he had to restart. When I played it was the first time I let a pig grow up so I had just gotten my first truffle, I thought I could make pickles with it and I couldn't but the box asking if you want to eat it popped up. THe first time I was paying attention and said no, then I walked past the furnace still holding it for some reason and I clicked again, this time I ate it...meh was still funny though I was not redoing the day to get it back.

 

I've got a funny point dealing with this one.
For some unknown reason I have it in my head that Silos need 100 wood, not stone. I'll have the right amount of clay and copper, but will take wood every time...

On the southwest part of the map is an area you can put 7-ish silos in a row vertically right against the wall, and I was spending a winter doing just that...And managed to being wood. Every single time.

 

I always get to town and realize I don't have stuff with me. OR that I was going to go get an animal from Marnie but now it is too late because she only sits there for 5 seconds before leaving. I also will be running along and open my inventory and remember I was going to go do something when I see items in there, like geodes, but now it is too late and I have to wait till tomorrow.

 

Usually the thing that gets me is the *what do you mean my item list is full?!* and then realize I have Geodes that need to be examined/stuff to sell...and I need to wait till tomorrow.

 

I always cringe when I see Robin and Demetrius publicly dancing. I mean it is kinda sweet and all, but that just reminds me so much of my own parents who used to just jump up and dance at any festivity in my home town. Even if there was noch actual dance floor or nobody else dancing. As a kid I was soooo embarrassed.
