Really wanna slap myself right now!
Started restringing my guitar and like a complete idiot, I put the A string where the E string goes. Already clipped it too, so just wasted a set of premium D’Addrio strings. So frustrating. Guess I should’ve waited until I had another cup of coffee before starting this. Oh well…back to guitar center I guess. Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s done this!

I’ll admit I have done similar, but caught it before clipping. Probably couldn’t find my reading glasses lol. In addition, I always try (as I’m sure you do), to have a few extra sets handy. Any way, yeah frustrating and a lesson learned. Sounds like you have the right attitude about it. Laugh it off, and move on.

Not that specifically, but one time I wasn't paying attention and tried to tune the low E to the the higher octave and a third of the way there it snapped. A true testament to how well the bridge was glued down.

One time I clipped a string at its post, instead of the post above.
Stuff happens.

Sheepishly raises hand. Thankfully I've only done it once <knocks on wood>.

If that’s the worst thing that happens to you today then I think you’re doing pretty good!

Good excuse to buy a mini/short scale guitar.
I've done it many times. That's why I have spare sets on hand. I donate the other 5 to my on-hand single spares.
