School Boy error - Very pissed off

At this min im a little bit xxxed off.
Has anyone ever made a mistake and thought, "you are a fxxxing idiot".
Picture the scene, gone to a family party, and in the corner of the bar was a cops and robbers gold (think that was its name), with 10p go + £100JP.
6quid in, and a some nudges flash up (cant remember amount) followed by - Nudge win £75. Looked on the machine to see what i needed in to bring in for that win as the wheels had some like
BAR - Cherry - Bar - melon with another bar above the melon.
I thought smashing, must be the bars then, so i started nudging the cheery down, and guess what i brought in.
Bar - Bar - Bar - Melon
Fxxxing piece of shit collected that win, and didnt let me nudge the other BAR !! dont think it should collect the win automatically if there is a larger win you could still get !!
Was sooo xxxxed off, got on the board and just thought xxxx it, kept hitting start - took 40 but put it back in in disgust/rage/pissed ? In an attempt of the 75.
Not one of my best nights!
Just wandered if anyone else has done anything like this, by just forgetting something so simple and its cost you so big !!!
I blame the chavs, why ? Cos there scum

Its a right git.
And the bastard thing about it, is that no doubt i will probably end up doing it again !!
Haha, nevermind, it gives me a strange comfort to know that i havent been the only one to do this.

ive done something similar(ish) on thuderbirds club £250, had an extra life board and kept going until i got up to about 4 super k.os and lost my extra life, i then decided i would collect the k.os on the feature stack and get a feature about 2 of top, by this stage i was extremely nervous being about 10 years old at the time and didnt want to take the feature in case it was skill and i messed it up so i decided il take 'super mix and match' i think it was, at least i know what that is i thought, instead of taking £100 on cash k.os. took the feature and got a big £25

f*cking gutted

i usually find that its a pain in the ass when ur on a machine and for sum reason whenever i get a bonus or summit like that i try and slow it down with the cancel/collect button but thats not the pain, the pain is when u realise that slowin it down will not work cuz on the question marks u actually can collect so u collect summit shit like £1.20.
that really racks me off, if anyone can understand wot i mean.

It wont come back on a ton jackpot machine, not for a long time, it just dont work like that on machines of that calibre. I will always play them type of M/C's one way (if i ever do) play for 2-3 spins of the board and collect whatever profit you can before being raped...
only 10p/£250 there is near me is the one in my canteen, and it offers no real benefit to me (as someone with knowledge) then what it does to some old tart who cleans up the shit at the end of the day

Lucky Strike ... cash and feature stacks near the top ... a decent number of shots waiting to be used ... spin an 11 to land on bonus nudges. 3 nudges - ah, says I - enough to fill the trail on the right hand side for maximum shots.
Start nonchalently nudging down the middle reel, here comes that all important number ... and ... oh fuck. Pressed that middle hold once too many times - so the 4th press and I've gambled higher than an 11 and fucked it all up.
Countless times I've lost concentration and done that!
