Snapping the head off a rack bolt resulting in a useless rack when my final resort was to cut and drill the bolt out.
Taking a C&V bike on a loaded bike tour without checking the wheels first, leading to a broken spoke head once I hit a pothole at speed.
Spending too much money on restoring a bike that wasn't even my size to the point that it became unsellable.
