Another small screw-up anecdote: I once tried symlinking a file into my home directory, only to realize I had actually symlinked it into my current directory into a file called '~'. I did the only sensible thing I could think of, which was to run `rm -rf ~` to get rid of it... After about half a second I realized what I had done, but by then enough of my home directory had been wiped clean that I needed to restore from backup. Always a fun one to share. :)
