mishap

A mishap is an unexpected and usually unpleasant event that causes trouble or problems. It's like a minor accident or a mistake that happens to someone.

When we talk about mishaps, it often means discussing things that went wrong, like a trip to the store where you forgot your wallet at home, or spilling coffee on your shirt in the morning rush. We might also use it to describe something that happened unexpectedly, like a friend canceling plans at the last minute or getting stuck in a traffic jam. In general, mishaps are just things that didn't go as planned and often cause a bit of inconvenience or frustration.
