Unintentional eavesdropping

The act of overhearing co-workers talking through a wall. No sneaking needed, just sit back in your chair and listen.
Jim: So the rumor around the office is that Steve is getting layed off.

Joe: Where'd you hear that?

Jim: Oh just through the wall during my daily "Unintentional Eavesdropping" break.

There were a lot of people at the Costco today. There were so many people, I can account for at least 4 unintentional stranger exchangers.

Unintentional Stem

Unintentionally or accidentally getting an erection. This usually occurs during inopportune moments such as during a business meeting or when guys (gay or straight) are playing sports together and make physical contact with one another. It is often considered to be embarrassing to everyone involved. It most often happens to guys when they are going through puberty because hormones are raging out of control and erections happen even when the guy is not thinking about anything sexual.
Guys in locker room after showering after a football game:

Tony: "Dude, are you gay? Everyone noticed you had a boner in the shower."

Derek: "No, man, I couldn't help it. It was just unintentional stem."

unintentional edgelord

people in online comment sections or forums giving extreme, hyperbolic, and/or controversial opinions for attention and validation. However, unlike normal edgelords, these commenters actually believe these opinions (albeit their belief is usually based on feeling rather than research) and are not just given for shock value. They even usually believe they're smarter than others and are unaware that they are seeking validation.

A common form it takes is the commenter pointing at a normal human behavior, a flaw in human perception, or a societal trait. Followed by them call it stupid (without researching why it exists) in a way that generalizes humanity but puts themselves on a pedestal for being above people that do that behavior or follow that norm.
person 1: I can't believe people fall for (illusion our brain isn't designed to see through), we are such a stupid species.
person 2: how does that make us stupid, we've never needed to use this in the wild.
person 1: but I figured it out, humans are the dumbest.
person 2: After it was explained to you. Look, can you even support that or are you just an unintentional edgelord?
person 1: *Leaves conversation in frustration*

Unintentional Sabotage

Usually happens in domestic disputes. When the offender creates a problem in order to have a argument about the feelings they would not express otherwise. A argument starting stepping stone. More often than not the issue brought to attention is not the actual problem. The offender will usually apologize. Therefore sabotaging the legitimacy of their current complaint.
"He does this all the time, starts nit-picking about my cooking, just becuase he wants attention, but when we get to the bottom of his true feelings he ends up apologizing for the comments about my cooking"! He has perfected the art of unintentional sabotage!

Unintentional Comedy

Unintentional Comedy refers to any type of performing art that fails so bad it becomes a piece of comedy gold. This phenomenon is most regularly seen in the movie genre but can apply to music, theater or even visual art.
Prime examples of Unintentional comedy are movies such as COMMANDO, Total Recall, Rambo 4 and The Transporter. These movies were all intended as serious works but in the end are so poorly made or acted that their failure has amused the masses, making them cult hits. A musical Example is Lordi, a band who obviously think they are hardcore, but could be outmanned by a female kitten.
