And what were the ramifications? Me personally, I did at some point execute `rm /bin/` instead of `rm ./bin/` when I was tired, in a rush, and dealing with annoying, terribly designed software, thankfully it was not an important system. I had terrible typos in emails, too, but I got away with it...

I had, at the time, a difficult boss need COPELAND. MS Word always wanted to change his name to COPULATE. I always caught it.
Also, I had an idiot co worker named TONY. Narcissist. I accidentally typed TINY, and it just kinda stuck after that.

Not quite a "typo" exactly, but more a misclick: a few weeks ago, I accidentally clicked the wrong "delete" button and removed a production ecommerce system for organic grocery delivery. Two days before Thanksgiving :(

When I was at school I wrote an essay on Beethoven's life. Beethoven's third symphony, the "Eroica" is important in that it is a marker of the start of the Romantic era (his first two symphonies are straight out 'Classical').
The maybe six times I mentioned it, the third symphony, I managed to each time accidentally title the work the "Erotica". Such is being a high-school student.
