I thought of one more experience:

While I was in school for Electronics we were required to teach a class
in our 3rd year.  This class could be related to anything in the first
2 years of school and had to last for 3 days.  I decided to teach one on
Television Repair and common problems.  I stayed up for about 3 to 4 =
long
days getting all of my notes together and preparing my test TV's.  The=20
first day I decided to cover nothing but safety.  Lesson one started =
with
discharging the Anode on the Tube.  Directly after I had told the entire
class to always make sure and discharge the Anode properly and double
check that you had discharged it.  I proceeded to place my flag head
screwdriver under the anode to pry it out of position to display why =
this
was so important.  I soon found myself 2 lab tables back with a =
blackened
screwdriver in my hand wondering what had went wrong (guess what I =
forgot
the first rule of my lecture :).  After that I made sure and had my =
stuff
together at least 2 days ahead so that I could sleep off the stupidity
that inherently seems to come with having to teach.

It is 2 am here in Texas.  I just spent fifteen minutes trying to figure
out why my circuit wasn't working.  Turns out the PIC was still in the
programmer.  :-)

Anyone want to add some bonehead mistakes to the list?
