I know of at least 1 person in this situation, but that's because he accidentally sold his house because he didn't want his neighbors to give him weird looks while he smoked in front of his house.
The word you are looking for here is impulsively, not accidentally. He purposefully went through the whole process of selling the house and experienced immediate remorse, but there was no accident involved.
Thank you, honourable Lemming for your help. It's difficult policing all these errors alone
He went beyond the point of no return without understanding or intending to have done so, that's an accident.
Accidentally?
“Aw man, it happened again. I accidentally sold my house.”
Like that time Elon accidentally bought Twitter.
Yep, even asked his agent if he could undo it after having signed all the papers.
How in the actual fuck does one "accidentally" go through the entire process of selling their house!?
Like, how stoned was he!?
Was he offered magic beans for it or something?
Obviously slipped and grabbed a pen while falling and landed on the sale agreement and his hand swerved into his signature position multiple times as the pages shuffled after which they slid into his buyers hand who ran away with them immediately. This happens all the time.
He only realized he could no longer back out after he asked to cancel the sale when he realized all the work he'd need to do to move out.
That’s regret, not accident. You keep using that word but I don’t think it means with you think it means
Good job admitting you don't know the meaning of the word, here I'll help: Accident “2a: an unfortunate event resulting especially from carelessness or ignorance"
Good job using English wrong. Good job doubling down too.
That person has mental issues.
