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

Not really a horror story because I fixed it with reflog, but it was a bit of a shock when we all suddenly couldn't push to the dev branch. Turns out one of the devs, who insists Git is just like SVN, decided to delete dev and push, and ignore the warnings. Apparently that's OK in SVN.
