When your pie chart has a meltdown

I was working on a pie chart for a client and accidentally imported the wrong data. Instead of 30% blue, it showed up as 300%. I can’t decide if I should laugh or cry. Ever had a design go hilariously wrong when you least expected it?

I’ve totally been there! One time, I was showing a progress chart and miscalculated percentages — my boss nearly lost it when we saw a 500% increase. It’s tough to recover from those moments, but sometimes they make the best stories.
