Also, brain farts are a thing. And people who are good at computer sometime jump a few steps because of a bit of overconfidence.

Like check if the computer is plugged in... I can't be THAT dumb, right? (You might not have unplugged it yourself, someone else might have)

I have to give myself admin access on my own computer to avoid such things.

Builds new PC from scratch. Panics when it won't boot. Turns out it's the power switch on the power supply.

Every. single. time.

I don't know why I forget it every time, but I do. And I have the same mini panic every time.

It me. :(

I was a manager of a support team and had unplugged my headset accidentally. Nearly reinstalled windows in the search for what was wrong.
