Ever get so mad u punch ur screen? broke ur keyboard because something didn't render properly? deleted a video by accident without making a back up file?
Personaly, i'v done all of the above and more (spilled beer on my keybord, yelled at my computer loud enough to scare my dogs etc.) I want to hear the stupidest thing u'v done associated with editing, either while editing or something that was a direct result from editing (lack of sleep for 500 alex?).

um... masturba... yeah.. not to mention, last night i was sleep editing, fading in and out of sleep, making tons of entries for AMVHELL CE.... Also, i've edited while hosting a room at an anime con... if the chance could come up, i would LOVE to edit while having sex... that just sounds fun!

Lost sleep over a music video (usually I can't live without sleep, so I had to pull myself to work hard by continuously think that it was only ten in the night and not 3 in the morning.....)

And when I almost finish my AMV, my comp chucks a spazz and resets. I saved so it was okay at first, until I realise I didn't save my edits and all the timing was wrong, the scenes were wrong, and it looked, just....BAD!!!

I kicked my comp many times for this even today....

psh that's nothing! i'm begining to think i'm the only one with real comp problems! ...or maybe anger management problems, u decide :O

I spent a month making a YYH amv to Ghosts of u by MCR, it we a pretty good amv, i went to delete all the other failed renders i had made, and deleted the good copy by mistake. I had a few beers to calm myself down, looked for a save file or something but didn't find one. next thing i wake up the next morning and realize i could just re-render it ....but i couldn't find the save file!! guess i deleted it in a drunken rage >_< (i'm not that smart when i'm drunk, lol)

I was editing in MGI Video Wave 4, 2 years ago, and didn't save my file to my external drive when my computer crashed and gave me the blue screen of death. Well that amv may never see the editing table again.

I hate messing with frame rates. 23 or 29 fps. It's moronic how when you set everything to 29fps premeire's preview window is 23fps if your sorce is 23fps.
