Aidandregret: /ayd and ree gret/ Mary meant well, but too often her attempts at helping people were unrequested and ended up as an aidandregret situation.

He had trouble finding the nearest exit and as a result has been temporarily grounded. His new Zip Code is OOH NOO. Yes, there’s something about Mary… Etymology: Aid (help, assistance) & Regret (sadness associated with some wrong done or some disappointment;be sorry) Play on Aid and Abet (assist or encourage, usually in some wrongdoing)
