This time of year there's a lot of new brewers asking a lot of new questions and it's got me thinking about all of my newbie questions. So let's all share what our first "did I ruin it" or "is it infected". It will the seasoned brewers a chance to laugh to ourselves, and will show the new brewers to RDWHAHB, we've all been there.
 
Here's mine, I was putting the airlock into the bucket of my first brew, and the grommet got pushed out and into the wort. I panicked, washed my entire arm with antibacterial soap, then sanitized my arm and reached in to pull it out.

3 days later, I saw krauzen and was convinced that my arm had infected the brew, snapped photos and posted asking if it would kill me.
