Well for the past 2 weeks I've wondered why there has been a slight delay on my drums. Was driving me mad.
Grain delay on drum track = FAIL
It wasn't intentional, but it's took me this long to realise it, LOL.

I guess sometimes whilst resampling the shit outta some crapline I forget the time and spend hours on something that ends up with way too much distortion :/

I'd say sampling my own voice was the most embarrassing thing I've done while producing, for other reasons obviously

Bouncing a track to show some mates, getting in the car, turning it up loud, only to discover I had completely forgotten to bounce the sub along with the rest of the tune........
Awkward.

Smashing my bass against my closet door out of anger.or getting frustrated that my keyboard shortcuts weren't working, only to discover that the caps lock keyboard was on.

Making a tune, and thinking it's good, and then playing it in my friend's car for the first time and it sucks.

Finished a tune showed my mate,waited with baited breath for his opinion.
The only opinion he decided on was that i had a slight oxide and neutrino sound which he thought was a compliment hmmmmmmm!

just the usual things like spending a few hours trying to find out why i can't hear a certain track and then noticing i've muted it.

Spending time EQing a track really harshly only to realise after about two minutes that i have just fucked up the EQ setting on a different track, which I had sounding pretty damn good previously.
I do this a lot.

iterated save system is what you need, unless you run latest ver of logic which apparently does that automatically.

Spending ages tweaking a compressor only to realize it's been disabled in the effects rack

that along with the realising a track is muted are the most classic idiot things to do.

putting stereo effects on the sub in a tune, then playing it out when I next DJ'd in a club
take it from me - never do that. ever
I was young and didn't know what I was doing
