That moment a towbar let go and my ego went with it

Last Thursday I was hooking up a 737 nose gear and the shear pin snapped clean, sending the whole assembly clattering onto the tarmac right as the captain stepped out. He just looked at me and said 'at least it wasn't the landing gear,' which somehow made it worse. Anyone else had a failure that made you question three cups of coffee before first shift?

Snapped a towbar pin last winter right as my shift started, felt like a total rookie.
