One of the system admins in my earlier jobs instead of running
  # rm -rf basedir/subdir

executed the following command
  # rm -rf basedir/ subdir  -- note the space before subdir

and deleted nearly 2 months of production data in topdir.
He did not lose his job, but his company was heavily
penalized.
