Back in the 90s I worked in a shared linux office environment. Sometimes people would leave themselves logged in, so of course it was your duty to mess with them if you found such an egregious security violation. Once we found one logged in and decided to add 'yes' as the last line of his bash login. That day we learned, via an angry phone call, that you can't Ctrl^C out of 'yes' via a remote shell. Today after reading this I'm assuming it's because of the way it floods the buffer. Poor guy had to call the one dude with root access to fix it for him.
