| 1 | What the...? Oops. Sorry, [[SelfDemonstratingArticle I wasn't trying to create a page]], it just sort of happened. I was just wasting time clicking links when I thought I would see if there was an index of accident tropes. I end up on this page that says "We don't have an article..." and I clicked some button or another and I can't figure out how to unmake the page. Uhh... |

| 3 | A lot of events in fiction happen by accident. Some are PlayedForLaughs, some are PlayedForDrama, but it's shocking how long it can take people to notice their accidents, and it's odd how often these accidents show up. |

| 5 | See also InfauxmationDesk, MistakenForIndex, and ThisIndexIsStuck. Not to be confused with UnexpectedReactionsToThisIndex, which is for accidental responses ''out'' of universe. |
