My zipper foot broke in the middle of a big project

I was putting the final zipper in a dress last night, around 11 PM, when the plastic part of my zipper foot just snapped clean off. The metal piece went flying under my sewing table. I had to finish the seam by hand, which took an extra hour and my stitches are not great. Has anyone else had a sewing tool fail at the worst time? What's a good heavy-duty zipper foot brand?

Ugh, that's the worst timing!

My old boss in Phoenix always said bad timing was just an excuse. Then I missed a flight because of a ten minute delay and it cost me a whole contract. Now I get why it feels so awful.
