Spent 6 hours chasing a leak on a copper line in Reno, turned out to be my own dumb mistake

Had a tiny slab leak at a job in Reno so I cut open the wall and spent 6 hours with a pressure gauge checking every fitting, sweating joints twice, and cussing myself out. Finally realized the drip was coming from the hose bib I hooked up myself, the rubber washer was shot and water was running down the pipe behind the drywall. What's the longest you guys have chased a leak before finding out it was something stupid on your own end?
