The lovely PhpMyAdmin and the convenient Drop button for a database. While multitasking I hit the Drop button on a Production Database because I had two tabs open comparing some configuration parameters between my local install versus the production. Lost few days of data since the automated backup was not quite automated yet.

Lesson learned: make backup scheduler top priority on your to-do list. And check it often.
