Back when I was still relatively new to computers, I was having troubles with my soundcard. I checked everything--the audio options in control panel, the software that came with it. I even turned off the computer to make sure it was firmly in the PCI slot. I rebooted about 3 times and I was about to uninstall and reinstall the drivers and as I went to unplug the speakers to take the card out, I found that my speakers were not plugged in. D'oh.
The biggest goof up I've committed isn't computer related but with my lawnmower. The mower had been sputtering like crazy and acting like it was trying to cut off. I wanted to hurry up and finish mowing the yard. When I noticed that the spark plug wire had come off, I bent down real quick to reattach itself. To paraphrase Hal, "remember to turn the power off." It sent a shock up my arm that I can still feel to this day.
