My favourite: The code does not work. You make a change, it breaks more. You undo that mistake: it now works.

    I've had:

    Code is broken. Make change

    Code broken worse. Undo change

    Code still broken. Revert to previous version

    Code works. Check code- it has the change you just made that didn't work

    My worst one, have working code, make a change, it broke. Revert it, still broken...

    The issue was that all icons and stuff randomly got a wrong size in the GUI. Just had to restart the machine to fix it, but I was really pulling my hair out when I somehow broke things backwards in time.
