I swore by my cordless drill until I flooded my bathroom floor trying to install a towel rack

I was in my apartment in Denver, trying to mount it above the tile, and the drill bit slipped, cracking a pipe behind the wall, which led to a $300 emergency plumber call and a huge mess that convinced me to always, always use a stud finder and check for plumbing lines first, even for small projects. Has anyone else had a simple project go sideways in a spectacular way?

My simple shelf install cost me a new ceiling.
