It didn't happen to me but is somehow a classic: Guy came into a shop buying a new superlight wheelset for really big money. Wanted expensive latex tubes with it and mounted the tires and wheels himself right away in front of the store. Inflated everything a went off for a test ride. Came back five minutes later carrying his bikes - he had forgotten to mount the rime tape and perforated his 25 $ worth of latex tubes with every single eyelet of the rim.....You can imgagine the comments of folks standing around.
