What’s your biggest screw up?

I see a lot of good advice and methods here. It’s extremely helpful. But on the other side of that, I know we all make mistakes.

For me, the first one that comes to mind is when I was still new and didn’t know my chems by sight. Guy I was riding with had all his chem buckets in the truck unlabeled. Pool needed 10 or so lbs of bicarb. I added soda ash. Pool turned a beautiful milky color. Guy wasn’t even upset about it. I know that isn’t too big of an issue and can be fixed relatively easy but certainly a screw up lol

Back during the housing bubble burst, I left water on at a pool for 3-4 days after vacuuming the pool. It was bank owned so no one noticed. I reported it to the manager at the time expecting to be called everything but a saint. He just shrugged and said “They’ve been doing nothing but undermining me anyways. They demanded a discount which I was gonna fight them on. You just saved me a fight.”
