Long ago I was trying to solve some thorny problem that I now forget and I thought it might be a good idea to uninstall and reinstall glibc. I knew it was a bad idea but I was at the point where I was past caring and figured why not see what happens. Turns out, in order to uninstall glibc there's a confirmation prompt, and instead of just 'y' or 'n' you have to type a whole sentence that's something like "yes, I understand this is a really bad idea". Well, I did that, and it was a really bad idea, the system was, unsurprisingly, basically unusable after that.
