jumping the gun 

doing something before your supposed to

example: one time, there was a hot girl I knew and when she asked my name, instead of telling her my name, I immediately told her my insta account name

Charlie: "Daniel you idiot, you were supposed to tell her your name. Quit jumping the gun."

Jumping the gun

premature execution - acting, reacting, or progressing before the necessary conditions, information, or phases are complete.

To act without thinking it through first
Allowing yourself to react instead of taking anything else into consideration allowing yourself the time to respond instead.

To have moved on to the next step prior to determining if it had been fully completed

To overreact without the full context,

Bitch! Who is ma?! I knew you were fucking around cheating on me!

Don’t you think you’re jumping the gun. A little bit there?

Did you already start on section 3? Look who’s jumping the gun again, reset the dip switch then install
