That moment when your wife has your baby girl, your first daughter, and your whole life changes in the blink of an eye when they put that tiny blue-ish lump on top of your wife's now vacant belly.

Congrats! ---- TMW you feel a pull to try to once again write that fantasy mystery with the MC who is blind and has cervical dystonia. TMW you're mentally yelling at yourself to stop because you've failed to do so before, so what makes you think you can succeed now? It's just history repeating itself. Stop when you're ahead! TMW you've no clue what to do with it.

That moment when you break the vacuum cleaner at work for the 3000th time and it turns out to improve its performance by about 1000%. That moment when your boyfriend is the christmassiest person ever and you're the person who buys BAH HUMBUG mugs for secret santa presents.
TMW you show your co-workers the first paragraph of your sci-fi, and they interpret this opening scene of Helen Chert stepping out of the shower: Hot steam caressed her nimble firm frame... into Hot steam caressed her nipples. and no matter what you say to them, they're convinced you're writing a steamy hot erotica.
