In my very first developer job, I was creating a backend for a social media-type phone app. This was sort of a skunk works project that the founder and "Chief Innovation Officer" of a successful company wanted to do on the side, but he only had the budget for a couple of juniors.
Anyway, I didn't know a lot of things, so at one point I got the test environment and production environment tangled up in the code. I don't even remember the details of this confusion and I'm not sure I'd be capable of understanding how this was possible, but the long and the short of it is that one time the boss came down and asked something like "Why am I a horse?", and the answer was that he was being logged in as a user on the test environment which had a name that was a horse pun and a horse for a profile picture. Fun times.
