When is the first time you had to penalise someone as a judge, and worst time you've had to do so ?

Title I guess.

My first time penalising someone, I gave them a plus 2 because there inspection was barely too long (im talking like 0.1s over).

My worst time (aka when I hated having to do so) was when in clock, some guy who I judged for 4 of his solves, got annoyed at me when I forgot to send his clock back to the scramblers (after his 2nd solve I think) . I then said to the judge across from me, and I quote, "I hope he DNFs the rest of his solves" .
I judged his 4th and 5th solve, and this is what his last 3 times were.

pretty sure he knew that I was new to competing/judging and it was like last event of the comp so everyone is tired as hell.
