Sentence: Eric is a redoofus. He doesn*t mean to make the same mistakes over and over. It*s just that he is a very habitual person. Once he has goofed twice, he has developed a reflex. Even when he has time to ponder a decision, he overthinks it and usually corrects the correction back to the error.

Etymology: redo (do something again or differently) + doofus (a stupid person)
