Fat fingers or ignorance?

Are you mad at urself sometimes after knowing u made a mistake? This is what happened to me today, I did my analysis/ thesis or whatever u want to call it. I decided to sell my call and collect my premium. Instead I am in a rush since I m in office and next meeting is in 5 mins, I accidentally buy those calls instead of selling.

Good thing I always check of the status. Now it got filled right away, makes me think wtf? I never do market orders. I only do limit orders, what just happened and off course I am the one who paid premiums for buying those calls instead. I immediately close the position and paid market orders this time.

This little adventure costed me close to 5-digits. SO MAD AT MYSELF.
