Spent forever trying to fix a squeaky floor in my kitchen
Thought it was a loose nail so I spent 3 hours pulling up carpet and pounding things back down. Turns out it was just the dollar store rubber mat underneath shifting, 10 seconds to slide it back and done.

Oh man, I feel this one deep in my soul. The classic "spend 3 hours fixing a thing that was actually a 10 second fix" trap. I once took apart my entire bathroom sink drain because it was draining slow, only to find a single stray Q-tip stuck in the pipe, not even a real clog. So embarrassing (especially since my roommate was watching me the whole time).
