^^ /facepalm

FlamingStuffedTiger - you'll see some but most of it is easy to overcome and sets your opponent back as much (if not further) as it sets you back. Things to watch out for...

Reapers/Helions/Banshees (with Bunkers)
Planetary Fortress Rush (srsly)
Early Zealot Push
Proxy Cannon Rush
Dark Templar
Zergling Runby or 6-pool
Mutalisk Harrass
Void Rays

Obviously you won't see all those happen in the same game, so you can deal with them and move on. Watch your opponent and if you think it looks like he's going to cheese or harass then build your defenses accordingly. Remain calm when they actually attack and pull your SCV's back until the threat is over. Once it's dealt with, get them back on mining as fast as possible and go back to your previous plan. If you responded well, you're probably ahead. Poorly, he's ahead. Reasonably well - even.
