Dr Pepper has caffeine.
Oops.

It’s a really really good idea to ring and check the blood test results and not rely on the doctor to call you if there’s something wrong. Asking about them 3 months later means you can get a nasty shock.
Ooops.
Save all your divorce paperwork and know where the original copies are. At least where I live, turns out FOC doesn’t set the support amounts, but the judge who grants the divorce does, hence one needs to go back to that original judge to update the original support amounts.
Ooops.
no good deed goes unpunished
Don’t take the locker that no one else wanted–there’s probably something wrong with it, like, oh, I don’t know, maybe that it won’t open.
Oops.
If you buy a new, expensive car that’s a little wider than the old, cheap one that you’re used to; and if you have a narrow, curvy driveway that runs right up against your sturdy brick house:
Don’t assume you can back out of the garage without looking or thinking.
Sometimes your first true love never stops. sigh
What hopefool said.
If you’re doctor says things like “that’s strange” and “that’s the (biggest, smallest, reddest, whataverest) one of those I’ve ever seen”, but then finishes with “it’s nothing to worry about, you look fine”, get a second opinion!

If you have safety pins holding together a tear in the seat of your pants, dont go throwing yourself onto the lounge. It hurts.
If it’s important to look good, always look at yourself in a full length mirror with good lighting before going out. And, apparently, there are different shades of black–they don’t all match.
Head with short hair and nails in the side of my house don’t mix.
Owch!
Even smart people do stupid things.
Following your heart doesn’t always work out for the best.
Transmissions need to be tended to, otherwise they get angry.
It turns out that particular model of dishwasher dries the dishes within it by means of a heating element down at the bottom of it. A good way to find out just how hot it still is right after the cycle ends is to blithely reach down into the bottom of the machine in order to retrieve a stray fork and brush your knuckle across the scorching metal of it. (This is also a good way to reacquaint yourself with just how quickly the nervous system has the “jerk away from the pain” reflex wired in at the pre-conscious level.)
hmm… I’ve learnt that if it itches, I probably shouldn’t scratch it
I can’t rely on my favorite concert-going shorts to hold up forever and look good.
They’re missing a button, one of the cargo pockets is reamed open, and there’s a big hole in the crotch that I recently aggravated by getting it caught on the side of a chair.
When you’re working in close quarters with people you’re supervising, better do a booger check.
Even if you’ve got complete backups of your hard drives, it’s a good idea to have a bootable hard drive to actually run the restore software.
Every family is dysfuntional.
People who think their family is perfect are the most FU’d.
Never use Dawn in the dishwasher when you run out of the regular stuff.
