They say not to count your chickens before they hatch. ‘Cause by doing so, you raise the chances for an instant loss of karma, dignity, and self-confidence, like, triple.
If you've ever been near the finish line raising your arms high in the sky, only to feel a cold wave of wind passing through while you enjoy the moment of not-earned victory, you need no further explanation. And if you are one of the lucky ones who hasn’t had their fair share of premature celebration-turned nightmare, please stay that way and keep on scrolling to see what not to do to become one of many.
Thanks to the subreddit r/Prematurecelebration, we now have the full-on archive of cringey glory that is a product of people celebrating just a microscopic little bit too early. So you'd better get ready to crack up big time.

Random Selection
To find out more about the community behind the r/Prematurecelebration subreddit, Bored Panda reached out to one of its moderators, u/N8theGr8, who was happy to share some insights.
The mod told us that the subreddit was created by u/potato88, who’s now a suspended user, back in 2013. Some time ago, though, the subreddit had no moderators, so the admins gave it to the current mod team, u/N8theGr8 said.
But since the subreddit revolves around a “kind of niche topic,” it’s not as active as it could be. “But we have half a million subscribers and it stays relatively active,” they added. Right now, the subreddit has 525k members in total and their community is still growing.

Good Idea To Straight Up Tell Everyone That You're Scamming A Company
When asked about the whole concept of premature celebration that the subreddit as all about, the moderator explained that it “just means celebrating some kind of win or victory before you really should.”
“Like a guy who runs a race and then slows down right at the end to do a victory jump and throw his arms in the air, only to be passed by the 2nd-place guy who then wins the race. Or 'Dewey Defeats Truman' newspaper held up by President Truman.”

Load More Replies...This one is premature...but how. so many questions. Only ever seen this on TV and on posts like this. Where are these people who don't know if they been proposed to or not? Like was a big even when me and the wife decided to live together...she didn't just show up one day saying "didn't you invite me" lol. Was conversation around it and everything...marriage like damn did it happen in 1 second and was over you left the room lol.
About 4 out of 5 times people I know post that they're engaged and they never make it to the altar. I know a guy who posted he was engaged and then two weeks later he moved 2,000 miles away—without her. "Um, we're not together anymore."
Why would he propose and then say he didn't? That doesn't make any sense. It seems more likely that the girlfriend was wishful thinking.
Load More Replies...I know a girl who did this, thinking the guy would be guilted into actually asking her
Ahh I remember when my ex put this up on his FB.... his gf at the time was shocked! That is how she found out she was dumped. (he got back with another gf and got engaged in 4 days) yep they are divorced now hahahaha
I always thought big commitments like an engagement were trial times... they should remain between the couple until there's a ring, or the one who asked to be engaged really wants to celebrate it.... it's waaay too easy to take things too far too fast! Communication is number one!!!
Ehm, engagement is the announcement that you have decided to get married. Either by one of the couple asking the other or by mutual decision. But both parties should be involved in the decision. *unless it's an arranged marriage in which case.. I don't know.

Celebrating Too Early
Yeah, our Prime Minister said that we are "Best in covid" back in summer, and now we are "Best in covid" but from the other side :(

Self Explanatory
Well, at least they can now rememeber the original date they were supposed to marry.

The redditor u/N8theGr8 continued: “When you're so close to the end that victory looks assured is when a lot of people let their guard down, and don't have the situational awareness to realize that someone else is trying to win too. It's fine to celebrate early, but make sure you're in a safe position to do so.”
I really wish there had been some explanation on the sports ones. Not all of us are in the USA and following US sports competitions.
I just saw rollerblading and Toronto Blue Jays. I don’t know where rollerblading is popular, but I would be surprised to learn that Toronto is in the USA🤷
Load More Replies...Sooo many people breaking the law and telling the world how "smart" they are. Sigh......
Something cringeworthy makes you cringe. "Cringey" is not a word. Honestly.
QAnon should be added to this. The weeping "what just happened?" looks on the faces of these slobbering idiots the moment Biden got sworn in was priceless.
I'm not into sports at all but I got the sports ones and still find them funny. Most of these are self explanatory, for example its obvious "the fourth" meant the game was still going. I don't need to follow American football to figure that out. As for the gaming ones, lots of people provided context to them. Just because you don't like sports and games doesn't mean the compilation was bad.
