That one time when the test credit card server actually processed payments... Turns out you had to use the test credit card on the test payment server or it'd still try to charge the card. Imagine that. Luckily we caught it in time before the processing went through.
And that other time when some small bug (I can't remember what it was anymore) prevented (a small subset of) payments from being processed for a day or so.
Those are probably my two biggest blunders.
As far as scary code goes, I was asked to rewrite some modules that were written years ago by a third party out of the country. Some of the things I saw in there really made me scratch my head and literally facepalm at times.
