Then let's make a little contest out of it: what's the most stupid thing
you've
done as a system administrator ?

I'm a ten-finger-typer, and I rarely look at the keyboard. Which is a bad
thing
when your focus is on the wrong terminal. So a few years ago I happened to type
"ssh root at some-remote-server.com <ENTER> <ROOTPASSWORD>
<ENTER>", vaguely
sensed in the corner of my eye that something was wrong and discovered to my
horror that I just posted it on a densely populated IRC channel.

Your turn. :o)

1)

rm -rf /prodnfs_mountpoint/*

Thankfully, it had some delay before deleting ,so "Ctrl + C" almost
broke on my keyboard.

2) Powered off primary prod DB instead of the stanby which usually has planned
downtime 3 times per year :)

3) wiped the whole VM during my RHCSA (paid with my own money) with only 40 min
left
