Five Times Jack Regretted a Command Decision
2. Allowing Daniel to talk him into SG-1 participating in a rain dance on P4Z-184. Halfway into the preparations, when it was too late to back out without offending the natives and losing any possibility of accessing their naquadah, they were informed that the ritual required everyone to shave their eyebrows. Carter didn’t forgive him or Daniel until hers grew back. It didn’t help that, of the four of them, her eyebrows grew back the slowest.
3. SG-1 and SG-3 shared an involuntary week-long campout on P5X-027. The first night after their MREs were gone, he delegated cooking duty to Reynolds. It was a mistake he never repeated. Everyone went to bed hungry that night.
4. Deciding to wait until cover of darkness before sneaking back to the gate and leaving the Planet of the Bird People. It had been a sound strategic plan at the time, but they soon learned that the planet was also home to large, hungry wolves. Since shooting the wolves would give away their position, SG-1 was forced to spend the night perched up in trees. It had been one of the longer nights of Jack’s life.
5. Letting Carter work with her Replicator counterpart. After that incident, it took him a week and a half to get a decent night’s sleep. During that week and a half, his subconscious found a variety of ways to show him how RepliCarter could destroy the universe

The whole "Super!Sam + RepliCarter" plot-line SUCKED (and NOT in the sexy, good way!). TWIC tried to make Sam be, and do, so much more than her share (both in skill-set and in importance to the overall storyline), and ended up writing her as stupidly overconfidant and criminally negligent. Of course, my attitude toward that version of Sam and towards TWIC was thoroughly soured by the whole business of the RepliCarter KILLING Daniel (Again! You BASTARDS!) with that sword-arm. Even though the folks back at the SGC didn't know about that, they know enough about how badly Sammikins F*CKED UP that whole mess that she SHOULD have been court-martialed, and probably Jack with her. It was one more wretched example of the Continuing Character Assassination Of Carter (part & parcel with the whole ASININE "Sam&Jack 'Shippy-CRAP" plotline), and a major reason why some clever FanGrrl coined the term "TWIC" ("The WANKERS In Charge") to refer to TPTB when they were doing sh!t like this.
Oops... I think I got off on a rant. :-}
