I loaded my film backwards for an entire month

I kept getting blank rolls back from the lab in Denver and thought my camera was broken. The guy at the photo shop finally asked to watch me load a roll and just started laughing. Has anyone else made a mistake that obvious when they were starting out?

Honestly think that sharpie trick is overkill. Loading film is supposed to be part of the fun, messing it up is how you learn.

Been there with the film loading panic. What finally helped was drawing a little arrow on the camera body with a sharpie. It's a dumb trick, but it saved me from that exact same walk of shame.
