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.

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

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.”

Technically, they drove carefully upto the sign. After that, care wasn't necessary.

I would gladly see the i-phone get s**t. Everytime a new model is released, the only thing mind-blowing about it is the price (and people buying it for that price).

True, but if you want some crappy lasagna and wait for it patiently, it's still devastating to have it end up face-down on the floor. (I would always prefer the homemade version though)

stick a knife between the container and the first layer that is now touching the floor, wedge it up a bit, slide a plate under. Now you have all but the top layers. Flip it back over, add some more cheese, stick it back in the oven to melt the cheese, drink some wine as you clean up the cheese and sauce off the floor.

This happened to my friend....she got a flat oven tray, slid it under the upside down lasagna and lifted it up. Just tidied up the dish, added new cheese on top, regrilled it and nobody was any the wiser. Said her floors were clean, so no problem. Nobody knew about it for years.

All I'm thinking is "You spelled Federal Bureau of Investigation wrong." - "... it's a typo." - "Twice." followed by pattented deadpan look of A.D. Skinner.

It happened because the correct spelling is lasagna, not lasaga. Not to mention that should be used the plural, which is "lasagne".

Very bad man. He was hanged for murdering three tourists (believed to have killed six in total) he was also a drug trafficker and thief. Googled him so you don’t have to.

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.”
