A phrase that is commonly found in shitty error messages that are completely vague, dismissive, and do not have any information and details on why and how an error has occurred and what the user should do to fix it, which leaves the user confused and not knowing how they can fix the error. It is usually either followed by the phrase "try again" or accompanied by the word "oops," "uh oh," or "sorry." If you regularly go surfing on the Web or scrolling through social media, chances are, you probably have come across at least one generic error message with that phrase.
In the context of error messages, the phrase "something went wrong" has been known to piss off a lot of people, especially the users on the Internet. This is perfectly understandable, considering that when one runs into an error message containing the phrase, the two scenarios that will most likely happen are the following:
1. They try to do something over, over, and OVER again, but the error still occurs. Feeling that they can't do anything about the error, they go from feeling disappointed, being overwhelmed, to feeling overly frustrated that they are more likely to go batshit crazy and bashing their phone or computer.
2. They just feel annoyed, say "UGH!", try to calm down and forget about the error, and simply move on.

Get the Something went wrong mug.The moniker given a man who intentionally wears the jersey of a team not participating in the game he is attending. The man is often accompanied by his lady friend, Wrong Game Rhonda.

Get the Wrong Game Ronnie mug.Doing something good doesn't make something bad you did go away. There is no righting wrongs or turning horrors into fairy tales. The one chance you have to right a wrong is when you have the choice to do the wrong, or not do the wrong. If you fuck up, you fucked up, and it comes with consequences, it's as simple as that. There is no erasing one history and replacing it with something that seems to make everybody smile because that isn't reality. The reality is, there are things humans have fucked up at in this country for a long time. One of them was that until yesterday, there had never been a female holding an office as a head of state or a vice head of state. A female getting elected to that position didn't right a wrong, the wrong remains, and the choices will also remain in the future. Racism is also like that, it doesn't get better or go away with time, it has to be worked on otherwise nothing gets done.
Spending a lot of time trying to right wrongs takes time away from things you can take your time on and not fuck up from here, since trying to right wrongs gets nothing done. If you have time to live your life ashamed of every wrong thing you had ever done, you can live your life ashamed, but you're still going to have a lot of shit to do at some point, and there's less and less time to get it done with every day that passes.
