What's something that you mess up frequently enough that you should know better, but you continue to do it anyway? (lemmy.world)

My example: rinsing spicy sauces and peppers off in my sink so the spiciness aerosolizes and I realize when it makes me cough. Every. Damn. Time.

Read the instructions all the way through before making attempts to follow them. I was working on a soldering project with a vacuum tube-mount and the instructions said "Solder the coil and vacuum tube-mount... ...the vacuum tube-mount can only go in one way so be sure to install it on the reverse side of the pcb"

I tore off 5 out of the 14 traces trying to desolder that one component.
