I did the same last week...
mkswap -v1 /dev/sda1
Fine, then I wanted the other swap partition, so I type
mkswap -v1 /dev/sda2
Instead of
mkswap -v1 /dev/sdb1
I would have expected a mkfs.* command to check for a mounted file system
though.

Subject: My worst typo!
How would you feel if, after you had walked your son through setting up a
Gentoo box for a server, you added a drive and typed..
mkreiserfs /dev/sda2
when you meant to type...
mkreiserfs /dev/sdb2
(sda2 was /)
Never mind, we can now build a Gentoo box in just a couple of hours with our
recent experience.
