Money Shift?
Has anyone else besides me, while shifting, being at the top of 4th, looking for 5th and hit 3rd? I did. The car hit 7500 RPM to 8000 for about half a sec as I put it back to neutral as soon as it happend. Still runs fine and I had 3 different mechanics listen to the engine and as far as they can tell, everything seems to be ok.
Has anyone else done this on accident?

Yeah well I forgot to mention that I was racing a Suburu WRX Sti, whos car looked modded and tuned. Forgot to mention I left him and then let him catch up and then I was following him until my exit off the freeway. During which I was following him I did that top of 4th to 3rd. So yeah slowing down on the shifting would have been a good Idea if I was doing normal driving.

Yup !
No while racing, though - just "leisurely" shifting and managed to find 3rd. It was sub 70 MPH, so no worries about damage to the car - just to the ego.
I have also done the First , Second , Third, Second ! before, although not in this car.
***** happens, I suppose.

I did a 2nd to 5th shift when attempting NLS for the first time. I've been driving manual from a long time and the NLS messes with your head at first. I try not to practice it very often so when driving my camaro i don't try it on accident.

I know this happens sometimes but you should avoid this at all cost. This type of mistake will cause one of two things if your unlucky. 1 Rip the lining off the clutch disk. 2 bounce the valves off the pistons, shatter the lifters and kick 3/4's of the rockers off. 3, split the balance shafts in two. Number 2 and 3 is very ugly.
