Hello all users!
Suppose you try to do something which requires your full attention. As is the case under such circumstances, the more effort you put into doing an activity, the higher the risk that you effort is doomed to failure.
For example, my wife and I had our flat redecorated a few years ago. Our settee was just a few cenimetres away. All we had to do was move it as close to the wall as possible. And that's where the problems started. We tried to move it very carefully and as a result, we ended up hitting the wall.
What do the Englishmen and Englishwomen usually say in such condtions?
Oops or Long live awkwardness or Long live clumsiness or my all fingers are thumbs?
Thank you.
