Do you ever accidently hit the thumbs down instead of thumbs up?

Not yet. I always give a thumbs up to people who cared enough to respond. Even though I may greatly disagree with them, I respect their opinion.

I only give thumbs down to idiotic rants that don't rationally answer the question. I gave a lot of thumbs down in Politics & Government lately.

Yes I have, in the beginning when someone left a very derogatory comment . .I try to be careful with that . . . lately thumbs down are all over the place .. . trolls at work. . .they don't even read the answers. . . just get enjoyment out of thumbs down . . .I pity them ! !

Edit. . .what are they for ? ? I thought it was to help the asker pick the best answer ? ? ? ?

If you give a star accidentally or change your mind you can take it back I wish we could do that with the thumbs button, When I first started the report button was right beside the tu and td button, I accidentally hit that one a few times OOPS

Many times a long time ago. It is frustrating.Sometimes I used to tell the person and apologize; now I am very careful .I don't care much for thumbs down.

Yes a couple of time and it was totally an accident. I went back in and wrote is was a mistake to make the person feel better.

I did it once by mistake. I felt really bad about it. Ok, I was NEW, alright! Now, if I hit it I feel good about it. If I did it by accident though, I would probably email them and ask for forgiveness.

Yes, I have done that a time or two and feel so darn guilty after doing so because it cannot be changed.

I have a couple of times and I feel terrible ,but thankfully I was the only one so nothing happened. (Which I'm really thankful for)

Yes, and I've accidentally deleted things I meant to save.

Yes, did that a couple of times.
