I lost a level 30 Borderlands Soldier due to save corruption. I didn't play Borderlands for 4 months afterwards.
I'm sorry, but only level 30?
lvl 30 is maximum.

i accidently killed an important npc at gothic3 and saved. that shitgame lets the player kill important npcs. all trys to get the person back failed. i had to start a new game, 50 playing hours -> *poff* never press the quicksave button ten times a minute.
Are we talking about the same Borderlands? Gearbox Borderlands?

Another moment, I was playing a survival-horror game on my computer (forgot name) and then this thing appeared on screen and made me shit my pants. I choked on what I was eating and kicked my hardware(fragile) with enough sheer force to break it. Then my drink spilled and ruined my keyboard. I lost the save data, computer, and a couple of games.

I had finished a novel and i got the blue screen of death and hardrive partition. I didnt back it up (yeah i know, i learned from my mistakes). I couldn't write anything for a long while after that.

My friend was telling me about the time when he was fighting a really hard boss (on some game from when he was 10), and when he finally beat it, lightning struck his house, corrupting his save... Poor bastard.

As for myself, I mad a fairly awesome travel brochure, that compared the digestive system to a forced labor camp run by Billy Mayes (my teacher said get creative, so I did), and I formated my drive. Now my genius is lost forever.

My sister saved over my 99% done Jak and Daxter save. I wasn't even mad though because I was the one who told her to play the PS2 and have fun with old games for a change.

She came to me crying when she did it thinking I'd beat the crap out of her or something, heh.

Yeah, I'm not a terribly fast leveler. It was a fairly big loss to me.

I lost 15,000 kills in Dead Rising (during my Genocider run) because I forgot to save and forgot to grab an orange juice. I almost made it too.....

School wise though, I had shown up early to school. I had to write an essay before first hour and somehow I managed to get it done, all 5 pages of it, works cited and all. The librarian sees a bunch of kids playing video games in the school library and just decides to log out every single computer in the library. There goes my paper, my hours of work, and my passing grade for that class

Oh, about a good 8 hours of progress in Oblivion when the game crashed and I had to restart ALL THE WAY back at the beginning. Needless to say, I switched the autosave on since then.

I spent ages on a cool Photoshop project when my PC crashed and corrupted the file. I spent too much time to do it again.

Lost my entire Tales of Vesperia file that was set up for grade farming and had a good bit of the side quests done. Then I ended up saving over it because of Vesperia's way of having the cursor going over the most recent save file, 150 hours lost.

I learned the hard way that my copy of Garry's Mod likes to crash randomly when I try to save.
After spending a total of 8 hours on a massive tower with wired doors and elevators.

I was playing one of the GBA Pokemon games and I had just beaten the Pokemon League. I noticed the new game button... I thought maybe I would get to make a second file or something so I clicked it, made a new file, saved, and lost my old data. That was a sad day.

Not to mention all of the Oblivion save files I overwrote due to it starting with the last saved file on the save menu and my impatience.

I lost an entire 40 page novel I was working on, as well as about 20 pages of another one due to my computer dying last year. Now I've gotten smart, I double-backup everything.
Word. I technically triple back up. Though this is in gaming discussion. I lost my SW2 file. That's all I can think of.

Lost all my savegames (including a 250 hour FFXII one) when a friend borrowed my PS2. I don't know how he did it. He'll never ever borrow anything from me again.

Lost 4 hours of work on Solidworks models when Solidworks decided he was tired and shut down.

its an in germany well known "fantasy-themed role-playing game" from german developers which is bloody buggy, but i'm a big fan of the series. once you played it, u can't stop.
