The biggest one I remember is telling everyone that I was logging off for the day, typing "sudo poweroff" and then wondering why my laptop hadn't shut down… turns out I was ssh-ed into our main production server which was not redundant and the whole system went down. Thankfully my boss was understanding. I intercepted the on-call notice and took care of it before filing a report about how it happened which was probably helpful. I had pushed back previously against passwordless sudo as well and been overridden, so maybe they took that into account too. Still, I thought I was going to be fired for the mistake either way and am very thankful they didn't.
