I’m feeling like a proper numpty, I only managed to take a 115 task rather than dump it! I’ll definitely be taking an extra task this week to make up for it. Gutted doesn’t come close to how I feel, looking for my dunce hat right now. 🤯
Done it myself on a very low point task saying "no no " and trying to catch it to put it back. Reason and logic goes out the window in that few seconds.

Well ... it works the other way round too. I have been preparing lots of teapots and then accidentally dumped the task instead of taking it. I felt like smashing all those teapots.

Anyone remember the early days of regattas when the Dump and Start buttons were not spaced far enough apart? Lost count on how many times someone fat-fingered the wrong button. I have messed up twice selecting 133-token tasks when my lying eyes said "135." The co-op chatter sure changed when the chance for winning was sunk.
Ah, the good ol' days. They were crowded with mistakes.
Are you accident prone, @Downton Falls? You sure think others' mistakes are awesome. lol
Lol, yes I am extremely accident prone @Mic Miller
I know the button says awesome, but if I think a post is an enjoyable read, can relate to it or agree with it. Well you will get an "Awesome" click from me! Although I do try to restrain myself when it is totally inaproppriate to use (of course what is deemed inaproppriate is debatable too )
Not hitting awesome to trigger you @Mic Miller, but I agree with @Downton Falls - if I enjoy a post, I’ll hit it up an awesome, we can never have too many likes on good posts. Clearly from my post, I am very clumsy, and so pleased I’m not the only one.

When you say you feel like a numpty @CaseMoline it is a way of saying you feel a bit of a fool. A way of expressing you have just done something stupid, the kind of thing you could kick yourself for (I know the feeling well)
Numpty...I like that word! (May have to teach it to my 5 year old granddaughter too!) Regatta woes...not only have I accidentally taken a low point task once, but did it again this past week! It was an event task and I had no intentions of starting the event. (Maybe I got the wrong from Mic’s mantle!)

I remember some discussion about this on the old board. It probably wasn’t your error but a software glitch.
Normally, whether we tap the button to dump a task or to take it, a confirmation screen pops up asking if we are sure we want to dump (or take) the task. Once in a while, when we tap the dump button, there is no confirmation pop up. Instead the task leaps directly into our active task spot under the task board. It’s happened to me more than once (usually the 3 plane task), to others in my coop, and to other players.
One strategy is to leave the last item in your current task unfinished until you see a new task to take. As long as we already have a task, we can’t accidentally acquire one we’re trying to dump.
