My/Your Festool Embarrassing Moments.

Last 10 years ruined 5+ sander backing pads easy on various tools. The Velcro does a good job sanding for the first 20 seconds

Remove vac bag and forget to replace. Usually find out 20 min later.

TS75 has kicked back and I've taken a few chunks off the rail.

MFT rail cut while using a cordless non FT saw for a quick cut

Blew off the rear dust collection rubber thing and 1/2 the Kapex blade guard plastic while cutting 4" schedule 40 pipe and having it crack and kick back.

Forgot to tighten the Domino fence 100% and ended up with pieces 1/32" misaligned

Left the blastgate on my 36AC closed while  sanding a ceiling. Why is it so dusty in here. The Planex head caught most of the dust till I tipped it over when removing from the ceiling getting covered in dust.

Just a few I can think of in a short amount of time.
 
Straight lining an in-the-rough board by using a magnesium screed, striking a line and cutting free hand on a table saw; all the while being eyed up quietly  [eek] by my track saw and 2700mm track  [wink].
 
Going to route out a slot using the MFS and forgetting to put the guide bush in the router first.  Solid carbide spiral bits cut aluminium just fine.

I flipped the extrusion over and now have only three showing scales, but still a usable MFS..

Pulling my vac across the shop when my ATF55 was still attached.  Required a few parts from Festool for that one.
