If someone gets into trouble because of a mistake or poor judgment, are you more likely to tell them they're screwed because they made a mistake? Or are you more likely to accept the damage is done and try and help them fix the mistake?

Everyone makes mistakes, everyone lies, everyone sins, so who are we to judge someone for the trouble they make for themselves, except the people that deliberately set out to hurt other people physically. I will stand by people if I think they are really sorry for the mistakes they made, but if there is no remorse, then I won't .

It depends on the severity of their mistake. Sometimes a mistake or poor judgment can cost you dearly and more! I always try to give people a second chance, mistakes happen and we're all human, HOWEVER... If it was very severe and costly, prepare to be judged. If it was a mistake that can be repaired or solved, you may get away with a slap on the wrist.

The latter. Ultimately the objective is to get things resolved. Berating someone for a mistake is childish. A mistake is an opportunity to learn. Nothing more.
Now a deliberate mistake is different. That's not really a mistake at all.

If you are a parent, you learn the best way to handle anyone's mistake-even when they aren't your kids- is to take your losses, make sure the mistake is remembered so it dosen't happen again, and move on with life. If we could all do this, there wouldn't be so many mistakes in the future perhaps.

Accidents happen. There is no reason to get too upset over that. Most things are fixable if the person who made the mistake in the first place will come out and admit to the problem.

It depends on how forseeable the mistake was, and the feasibility of alternative ways toward avoiding the mistake. If I think a person was knowingly idiotic before hand, I might still help them, but they should pray I don't berate their inept asses at the same time.
