Click with care

Yipes!  Don't ever accidentally click "Unshelve" a shelf set in TFS containing code you already checked in weeks ago.  I wanted to delete an old shelf set but absent mindedly unshelved it instead, I even cancelled it half way through but the damage was already done.  This completely hid the fact that I had already checked in those files.  TFS showed the unshelved files as "Added" or "Edited" making me doubt whether I ever checked them in weeks ago.  Only after confirming with another coworker whose TFS was not obscured with my shelf set did I trust that I had in fact checked in those files weeks ago and not made some other brain dead mistake.  As penance I got to spend the next half hour or so undoing checkouts, getting latest, merging conflicts, overwriting readonly files, again and again, file by file, and gently reassuring TFS that I was not intentionally trying to violate the space-time continuum.  So the moral of the story is don't accidently unshelve ancient code!  Click with care.
