I was freelancing at Buck for this huge (see: 120+ short animation loops) for this upcoming project, yet to be released.
I was there for maybe a week, and up until that point, wasn't really used to wacom tablets. With a quick flip of the wrist, I accidentally moved ALL of the project files for all of the animations, while several other people were working on it.
Two other people just proclaimed "whoa wtf wtf" at the same time, and I immediately started apologizing profusely and began moving all the project files back. Luckily, no missing links or any actual damage—nothing was lost, and after ten minutes or so or so, everybody was back to work.
But for five or ten minutes, I was convinced that I, a 22-year-old freshly graduated freelancer, just deleted an entire project, weeks worth of work, for one of the biggest animation/motion graphic studios in the united states. whoops.
