Speaking of rm -rf...
We had a guy at work who was trying to run rm -rf * in a directory to remove our software prior to installing a new version. He didn't have permission to remove some of the subdirectories, so he did an su - and then ran rm -rf * again. Only problem was, the su - had moved him to the root directory. I'm sure you can guess what happened.
