That time I tried to fix a squeaky floor and drilled into my own water line

I spent a Tuesday afternoon tracking down a squeak in my hallway, felt proud when I pinpointed it, then drove a screw right through a copper pipe. Water sprayed everywhere for 10 minutes before I found the shutoff valve. Has anyone else turned a simple job into a full plumbing disaster?
