We've all done it. Big, small, spectacular, lets see it.
Renault crashes.
I hit the side of an 18tonne recovery truck with a 7.5 tonner on its flatbed. I lost. A- and B-pillars, turret and roof gone, write-off :depressed:
I got away with nothing more than glass in my mouth and my 6-months preggers GF was unhurt.

Fuego on a mag shoot @ Brunters, 120mph and accelerating down the back straight going for the 150mph rev limiter and the fecking bonnet ripped off LOL

My daily R19 back in 2009, drove down the on-ramp of M40J15 under the new bridge there (at the time) , traffic backs up and everyone brakes, I skid on plant diesel from the works and don't quite manage to dodge a shiny new Merc in front of me.

And the last one for now. You can't laugh. Promise? OK then.
Changed the brake pads on the above 19. Great. Dropped it off the stands and went to turn it around out the back of my house. That means a 3-pointer in front of my neighbors garage, which is usually quick and easy. Except I forgot to pump the brake pedal and close the brake calipers up to the discs.
The forwards part of the turn was fine and as I approached the garage, I pushed the brake pedal....and it hit the floor. I mean, I reacted like fucking lightening and managed to scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" and pull the handbrake at pretty much the exact point the front of the car hit the garage doors.

Remember, YOU PROMISED not to laugh!
EDIT TO ADD: The neighbour whose garage it is, is a mid-50's deaf lady who lives alone. Have you ever tried explaining to a deaf lady that you just drove through her garage doors? Not a pleasant experience.
Now i've shown you mine, you show me yours!
