We all have. It basically means that you put anything before God. This is one of the most difficult commandments to follow.
Many below have said that they don't believe in God so they can't break the commandment. In my opinion, that just says that they have never placed God first (since they don't believe in Him) and therefore, they have ALWAYS broken the commandment.

There may have been a time or two when I was younger and questioned God that I did this, but with a stronger faith God is always my only God. while I may give my time and energy to other things, in my heart, God is still number 1. That is what matters.

Yes. We all have, because we don't realize how many things in our modern society can be "gods." A god is something you worship. "Worship" comes from the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) word "weorthscype" (worth-ship) and it means to ascribe worth or particular worthiness to someone or something.
We can worship nearly anything by giving it a higher priority than our relationship with the Lord Jesus (for my Jewish friends, read that as Adonai and you will get the same point from this comment). Let's say there is an NFL exhibition game from London on Sunday morning when you would normally go to church. If you stay home to watch the game, you are ascribing a higher worth to football than to God. Let's say you are aware that you haven't been reading your Bible lately, but there's a show on TV that you'd rather watch. I'm guilty of this one myself. If we watch the TV show instead, we are giving it a higher priority than God. You can warship a girlfriend or boyfriend, too. Or a President. (More..)
