Mirror images, BTDT, more than a few times ... example is this odd couple
"marriage", the result of the pictured angled cabinet, originally designed
to transition from a 24" wide cabinet run to a 12" cabinet run, which, due
to a "duh" when the floor plan of the house being built was flipped after
the kitchen was designed, was naturally the opposite/mirror image of what
was required; and a transitioned to 12" wide cabinet from another kitchen,
which turned out to be too long for the space because the framers moved the
kitchen sink window 3" in the wrong direction due to an over sized RO,
something the shop dummy failed to verify before the siding went on and
building cabinets:

Had something comparable awhile ago with an electric drill. I was
drilling a hole in the underside of my desk to run some wire. I
couldn't get under that to actually see it so I was drilling blind.
Spent a good thirty minutes trying to drill a hole in 3/4" thick
material. Finally gave up, went to the store and bought another drill
bit, assuming the original one was completely dull. Spent fifteen
minutes trying to drill with that. Finally gave up cursing and
swearing.
Pulled the drill out and realize what I was doing wrong. THE DAMNED
DRILL WAS SET TO REVERSE.
Spent another ten minutes cursing and swearing some more!

That's what you get for being displaced for so long. To prevent that, Boudreau says, when you cut you leff hand, on the board, you aim wit you right eye and when you cut you right hand, on the board, you aim wit you leff eye.

I have a present speech for these events that begins with: "How the $#$% did I do that?" I'm considering have that engraved on my tombstone.
Larry
(Shit happens ... most days)
Just one question Karl. Were you coming or going when you made that piece?
LOL
I have never made that particular mistake. But........., I have been known
to make a few other types of mistakes. I remember one particular project
that I bought just enough wood for the item. And I screwed up and had to go
buy another piece. Which was repeated again and again. I ended up screwing
up the piece five times in a row. I finally got it right. I don't know
what was going on with me at the time. Al I know I was incredibly relieved
when it was all done and finished.

Reminds me of when I was competing in Model Airplane gliders.
We had a listserve. One guy made two left wings.
He was so pissed off,
so he went to create the missing right wing and made another left by
mistake...
To me it was funny has hell.
To him, I am sure it wasn't, I am sure it was frustrating.

that himself.

Was once building a roll front night stand, took two tries to get the
groove on the right hand panel on the inside.
Looking back it seems almost impossible to make that same mistake twice,
but it happens.
Fortunately, the customer decided she wanted two of these stands and
ended up only wasting one panel.
I must have been confused, being unable to figure out why anyone would
want a roll front night stand. Looked like a bad idea at the time and ever
since.

I made that very same mistake on one of my first projects years ago, albeit
with a router, not a table saw. Mine was for a shelf to be let into
dadoes on either side of a bookcase. After thinking about it a while, I
cut a little off the top of one upright and off the bottom of the other,
reducing the bookcase height somewhat but allowing the shelf to be
installed level and square. It's one of those mistakes you are likely to
never repeat.

I've made so many errors (in drywall) alternating from the use of the
inside and outside of my carpenters square that this barely makes me
raise an eyebrow. I've also seen myself cut out the electrical box on
the "wrong side". %-)
I learned I should buy an extra piece or two of drywall so one doesn't
have to go back for more as soon! YMMV.
Second coat of paint went on the ceiling today! : ) I will try for a
second coat on the walls tomorrow.

OK, hope this makes you feel better, ;~)
On Monday I pulled out the Rotex to sand the "fresh out of the clamps"
face frames. I sanded an entire side of a face frame and was not really
pleased at the results. I thought that the paper was getting old so I
checked. NO SAND PAPER AT ALL on the sander.
It is a bitch when you don't get dust when sanding! :~)
