We've all done it (several times); some of us are just fortunate enough to not have made as public a demonstration of the fact . . . :)

And probably broken record on the point but: one of the most valuable debugging techniques is to step away from a problem for a short time then come back to it "fresh"; you'd be surprised how often that'll help you find the obvious mistake that you'd read past n times before doing so. "Rubber ducking" with someone else can also help for things like this because your duck will (hopefully) not have the same inadvertent blind spots you have.
