Taking the wrong fish by the hand

To make a poor choice or miscalculate when selecting someone or something important.

Don’t Get Me Wrong

Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don’t Get Me Wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile
Once in a while two people meet
Seemingly for no reason
They just pass on the street
Suddenly, thunder showers everywhere
Who can explain the thunder and rain
But there's something in the air
Don't get me wrong
If I come and go like fashion
I might be great tomorrow
But hopeless yesterday
Don't get me wrong
If I fall in the mode of fashion
It might be unbelievable
But let's not say so long
It might just be fantastic
Don't get me wrong

Bet on the wrong horse

1. To appear to be very sad, down, or upset, as if you had just "... bet on the wrong horse."
Wills:"Sash is lookin' pretty down, man, like he bet on the wrong horse, er somethin'."
Juan:"Right?"

Wrong

Hym "I feel like that last one was wrong... Too crude... I don't think I framed that properly. I guess the point I'm trying to make is that you are creating the 0 sum game that you don't want people to play. And then when someone (INEVITABLY) plays you throw your hands in the air in shock and say 'Oh no! WhAt CoUlD hAvE eVeR cAuSeD tHiS tO hApPeN!?'. I mean I'm repeating myself at this point. And part of the problem is the arbitrary non-association out of spite or malice."

Iam "And MY question remains unanswered. Am I the good one or am I the bad one?"

Hym "Well, that depends on whether or not you resign yourself to a life of serfdom and fade into obscurity. Like Gods punishment in 'Supernatural' after he loses to the Winchesters."
