For me it is not recording credentials with the assumption I would simply remember them later, while having every opportunity to archive them before eventually forgetting. Also, not keeping detailed enough notes & photos of exactly how my hardware is attached.

    Let me count the ways:

    • Edited /etc/sudoers with vi instead of visudo.
    • The classic rm -fr /
    • The typical chown myuser: / -R
    • Removed the bootloader dunno why
    • Some shenanigans involving dd and the wrong device

    I could go on, but my memory tends to erase the painful memories.
