For me I passed my test and on the first day nearly tipped the forklift. I still feel bad about it.

I got forklift certified at an office supply store that sold furniture. A coworker was spotting for me and wasn't paying attention, and I bumped a heavy pallet of unwrapped boxed dressers stacked two high.

Unfortunately, two or three of them fell into the photocopy area where customers go. Thankfully nobody was in the area at the time, but it destroyed one of the photocopiers and a huge sign overhead.

The really spooky part was I posted about it on Facebook with a photo and the company in question actually contacted me through Facebook and asked me to remove it even though I didn't mention them by name and my profile was friends only. This was about 15 years ago.
