As stupid as this all seems stupid and seems to be plenty more people like this popping up around the internet but the origin is a trolling mechanism, or internet slang, made to exploit the imagination of of english speaking internet users. It is used by constructing a complete sentence that begins with ''I accidentally'' and removing the verb, leaving readers wondering what had been there in the first place.
Here are some other examples in the form of MEMEs:
The best thing about these memes is that when people say them in forums, people are actually replying like they are 'playing along' with the joke, as you can see below. The user has replied on Yahoo! Answers to the whole thing acknowledging the known problem of building a shelf by accident.
As I said before, its all made to confuse the English speaking user about the missing verb that in turn changes the whole statement, leaving the reader wondering what has happened.
A few possible examples for the internet meme above could be that:
He has sold his internet - I accidentally SOLD the internet.
He could have done some NSFW stuff too like - I accidentally BUMMED the internet (lol).
So yes, hopefully this has cleared it up for some people, it confused me a lot when I first saw this on Facebook. What do you think about the whole thing?
