> I tell my assistants that if the outcome of an experiment is what we expected,

Ha! The outcome was only what you expected because of a measurement error!  😉

>> Can you estimate what percentage of the time you experience these WTF moments

Not sure I have enough nines in stock but I'll try to estimate the percentage 99.999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 %

And it often worse than that - even OTHER people's experiments can cause one to have a "WTF" moment - I had to have my trusty Omega degaussed once because I merely walked by a lab where they were booting up one of those fancy liquid hydrogen-cooled supermagnets.
