I did that once! Without the sudo, so it was even worse because I was logged in as root. Oops? Now every time I do anything as root I triple-check it. Destroying my system wasn't really fun, but it taught me a really valuable lesson.

I had a boss who did that to an entire lab of computers just after a coworker finished reimaging them.
