When have you personally won a "Fell For It Again" award, and how large is your collection?

Season 2 of any Netflix produced show
- People making shows for Netflix keep falling for this one too. Kaos setting up for a season 2 and ending on a cliffhanger despite anyone with half a brain being able to tell them that’s never happening.

This employer actually cares about my well-being this time. He's being so generous and understanding of my life situation! I'm sure this isn't just because he has an important job that needs doing and I'm not going to be laid off at the first moment it's slow
- Damn there's an emoji too

My partner says I am oblivious to danger and always walk to the worst neighborhood.
Recently first time in Milwaukee. Check out the Pabst mansion, start walking around. Get some soul food. Take a walk back to the bus station.
See liquor store and head in that direction to get a tall boi. Group of guys in front of a bar across from the liquor store start talking me up what you doing? Where you from? Tell I’m looking to grab some drink ask if the bars good. Guys says go to the liquor store instead. They start harassing a lady walking by and I’m not about that. I hit the liquor store and bounce.
I told my partner they was pissed. I’m like no big deal. They were assholes not dangerous. We ask a friend what to do in Milwaukee. They knew a great spot but it’s a bad neighborhood so strategically Uber in and out.
The uber drivers is like man that’s a bad neighborhood. We get there and it’s exactly where I was. Waitress makes a comment about the place being good but the neighborhood being terrible. The door men had guns. The Uber that picked us up was like man this neighborhood is bad people get shot here every night.
Like god damn white people are chicken shit.
(I kid, I feel so dumb for being oblivious.)
- tbh whenever I hear the term “bad neighborhood” my reactionary dog whistle alarms start going off
  
  Apparently I live in one, according to a bunch of rural mennonite former co-workers in a prior job. It wasn't until months later of living in my very quiet building in a quiet neighbourhood that "bad neighbourhood" in their vocabulary means "lots of non-white people live there".
  
  As they should. “Bad neighborhood” almost exclusively means “a lot of non-white people live there and I, a white person, felt uncomfortable despite nothing happening”
  There are like, 3 neighborhoods in the United States that are like, actually dangerous to walk around. Everywhere else just don’t leave your bike unlocked and don’t leave valuables in your car.
  In fact, many “bad neighborhoods” are actually significantly safer to walk around than “good neighborhoods” because you’re less likely to get hit by a fucking car when you’re walking in a poor urban area than an expensive suburb with no sidewalks.

- Nope!

Wandering straight past multiple red flags on my way in to every relationship like
- Samesies. My partner helped me with this. I think it's good to have someone you really trust be your second eyes for your relationships.

literally any time i give my executive function any benefit of the doubt fr fr

I fell for internships 3 times. First one was unpaid and the two after had a meme number stipend. I did night shift work on the side and took odd jobs when I got them to survive sometimes calling in sick to do some sort of single time job. I became so used to starving my weight would fluctuate by such large amounts based on if I got to eat or not. I fell for the "working for experience" bit out of desperation after applying for over 8-9 months with straight up rejections each time.
- That's super fucked, tho. I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. Not at all your fault.
  
  It wasn't even my worst fell for it again moment but that was quite painful and it involved corrupt cops, politicians, rich kid (mid 20s)with daddy's money and influence to clean up after his crimes inflicted on me and someone else. Thanks comrade
  stuff happens and I don't wish to blame myself but I still regret the way my life kept turning into.

I kept eating yoghurt for years since it was supposed to help with the stomach issues I got from eating yoghurt. I suspected that I was lactose intolerant, but my mother is also lactose intolerant and can eat yoghurt so I thought that the stomach rumblings and shits were how it was supposed to work.
I have a tendency to do this, I only figured out that I have a pollen allergy last year after just thinking that spring sucks for no reason all my life. I only get the eye and brain fog symptoms and I thought you had to also have a runny nose.
- I only realized I was allergic to pineapple when I got a job at Papa John’s and got hives on my hands. I thought everyone’s face got kinda sweaty and itchy when you ate pineapple, like how you react to spicy food.
- To be fair it took me a decade to figure out I was lactose intolerant! As a kid I thought it was normal people got bloated from cheese and milk!

"I know my last time estimates were ridiculously low but this time they're right. It's just a complex major feature in a big interconnected system owned by an indecisive and tinkering client. How long can it take?"

"I'll just take a quick break from work to surf the net. Definitely not more than 15 minutes."
"I don't need to run a full battery of tests before I release this build of my game. I only tweaked a few simple things since the last build, what could I have possibly broken?"
"Sure, the weather is cold, but it doesn't quite seem 'hat and gloves' cold."
- "Sure, the weather is cold, but it doesn't quite seem 'hat and gloves' cold."
  Ever since cutting my hair short, I have this but "it's a bit cloudy today, I don't need a hat". Now, I just don't leave the house without one lol.

"Ah, yes, I can trust my family to do this for me, past failures mean nothing" I love them to death but we (and I include myself unfortunately) are not a reliable bunch.

Doing a week+ worth of work for people I've been friends with since I was at least a teenager and then hearing some excuse about how they don't have the money to pay me right now but will get it to me when they have it.

I used to have friendship crushes (I guess you could call it simping) for beautiful upper middle class people who spoke lefty language well. It wasn't necessarily romantic, as I did it for dudes equally. I would end up putting all my energy into that person, just to realise that they were selfish, as fitting for someone of that social class.

"Oh shit, I just ate some [IBS trigger food] but, I seem okay, maybe I'm over that one and I can eat a bit more"
"This person seems cool and understanding, maybe I can tell them about my GI problems and how it affects my social life and ability to commit to things"
- After seeing the cop thing, I thought GI meant the GI Bill for a few seconds before I realized you meant gastrointestinal.
  IBS is definitely shit to have to deal with...
