A la Joubert
Dashing away like a dog with its tail tucked between its legs after making the dumbest decision ever, probably because someone made you do it, and now the whole country is out for blood.
He ran out like he was being chased by a mob after choosing the worst option.
She bolted like a scared rabbit after making the dumbest move of the season.
He dashed off like he was running from a firing squad after making the worst call ever.
