Ran a 3/8 endmill through a part because I had the wrong offset loaded

I kept getting these weird dimensions on a batch of 50 parts and it took me 3 hours to notice my tool length offset was off by 0.015 from a previous setup. Anyone else double-check offsets after every tool change or just me?

...then my buddy Steve scrapped a $200 fixture plate because he forgot to reset his G43 after a tool change. He was like "man this endmill sounds angry" and just kept going. Took him four hours and seven broken inserts before he realized his Z offset was still set for a 2 inch longer tool. I swear we've all been there, that moment when you look at the part and just know something's off but your brain won't let you admit it.
