I pinch flatted after getting a puncture once. The (front) tire went soft from the puncture and threw me off the rough edge of the pavement which pinch flatted the softened tube. I patched and inflated that tube one hole at a time before I finally figured out what happened-- took quite a long time and I was very ready to be done with it long before I actually finished!
