I've done the same thing about five times in the last two weeks, only with
analog circuits.  I get the thing all soldered up and go to test it, only to
realize OOPS! no op-amp in the socket.

Another one- when I was in school, it was standard for student groups
working on projects which involved serial communication to set up 2
breadboards
on opposite sides of the room and then connect them with 1-wire between the
two and get very surprised and agitated when their circuit (which works
PERFECTLY
on one breadboard) becomes unbelievably flaky.
