If you homebrew long enough you WILL become complacent. It isn't a matter of if, it is a matter of when.
You have your routine and when that routine gets interrupted you have a sense of urgency to get back on track. This is why I always have a brew buddy with all-grain. Extract is a different story. Even with a helping hand of a brew buddy eventually Murphy stops by and will try and help (Murphy comes in the form of about 6 pints of homebrew).
Well there I was at flame out, adding my final hops. Grabbed my chiller, and it hit me, I haven't sanitized my carboy. Panic sets in for a moment. No biggie, filled my carboy with water and starsan. Meanwhile went to get everything connected and ready to go. Grabbed a bucket to dump the carboy into, by the way wet hands and glass, not a good combination when your carboy is full.
The carboy only slipped about an inch, but that was all it needed to make contact with the pavement. Well on the bright side, my driveway was well sanitized.
In the 20 years of naval service I learned and preached about the seven P's.
Well on this day I forgot about the seven P's. Proper planning and preparation prevents piss poor performance.
All in all i was able to recover with only a few minor cuts in both of my feet, and I will let you know in 45 days how it turns out.

. The risk of a slip is to great for me to want to use my carboy.
