I once intended to do ”rm -rf *~” in a project folder about a week before it was to go on the arXiv. Only problem: I managed to hit enter before ~ …

I once did a "$ delete [...]*.*;*" under VAX/VMS while accidentally having my working directory at the top of the file system. This is almost the same command -- a recursive removal of everything at or below the working directory. As I recall, I was fortunate to do it under version 2.5 where the command was bugged so that the recursive removal did not take place. I think it aborted at the first file protection violation rather then proceeding to the next file as it should have.
