Put something in the wrong place (probably via pasting, but it's not always clear to a screen editor if you pasted or just typed quickly)

Typically when I paste something, I type something beforehand, and then paste it in, undo it, and it undoes what I typed before.

This is worse when I'm using multiple cursors, which is usually me manually cleaning up some data.
