I remember the days of NT4 and the guy that would lock a file, leave for the day and you couldn't check it out :D Good times!

Same year I deleted all our customer's websites by simply dragging the hosting folder somewhere into C:\programs or something by mistake... A double click + lag turned into a drag and drop! Whoops!

I was pale as a ghost as I asked for the zip drive.

We had to reboot the file server first, which we did a swift kick to the power button.

At least today we employ very secure mechanisms; like YAML rollouts of config, to keep things interesting.
