Bad Translator CYOA

Do CYOAs belong in the TBG or RPG subforum? I'm just posting in the RPG because it seems most appropriate. Anyway...

Since no one is playing my Bad Translator RPG, I've decided to make a bad translator game that makes everyone the same character.
Let's call said character...James.

James is just trying to go through everyday life. But every action he does is bad translated first.
Here's how it works:

1. Someone posts an action (the first person to post one will be the desired action)
2. I roll a d20
3. The action will go through random Google Translate languages a random amount of times then back to English (depending on what I just rolled), and then the action will be interpreted literally.
3a. Your action will pretty much always succeed not matter what roll you get, but depending on your roll, you might get more languages in the translation chain. The higher the roll, the less languages. For example, if a 3 was rolled, you would have more languages in your chain than if a 16 was rolled. So while your action will succeed, it may not do the action you wanted...
4. Hopefully that made sense

No signups are required, because everyone is the same character (except me, I'm the GM)

DEATHS SO FAR
James - Tried to start a company named "This Group" but randomly died
Sarah - She never got to know what was going on
Bob - Tried to investigate the mysterious death of James and his partners Dave and David, but the universe imploded before he could put the pieces together

Okay, let's start.

James hears a repetitive buzzing he's heard every day. Luckily, today is a Saturday. He slams his hand on his alarm, gets up, eats breakfast, and brushes his teeth, like he always does. But for some reason, James feels like something's off. So, now that James did all his daily routines, what should he do?
