We all have been there... For the beginner it's easy to mess things up. What are your horror stories with Git?

I've often ended up guessing what things do and messing things up.

One example is when I couldn't remember the difference between git checkout -b and git checkout -B, so in my infinite wisdom I decided to use -B because surely capital letters are better! Tried using it to switch back to a branch, and... Yeah, that was annoying.
