I would rate whipper snippers and two stroke lawn mowers as the most unreliable...
My biggest stuff up occurred about 3 months into a new job - I was developing a new module for an existing web based application and was trying to impress, since I was on a probational period - I was about 1/2 way into it, when a bug in my new code managed to delete the entire project! (one to many wildcard operators) The project was backed up, but not this particular bit. Alas backups where not running on that particular server - but I should have made sure it was in the first place!
I lost about 6 weeks of work over that one. thankfully I was able to re-write it in about a week, and my boss was none the wiser at the time.
