Today I broke our testing server.
I accidentally (don't even ask, I'm stupid) renamed the /lib folder and nothing worked anymore. Not a single bash-command. I had to shutdown the server and reboot it with a recovery-cd to rename the folder again. Luckily it all runs in a vSphere so I didn't even had to stand up from my desk.

I have done the same except I renamed glibc so I could try with my version of the file which I knew was working.
We were working on a physical machine so we ended up mounting the disk to another machine and move the old version back again.

I once applied the staging database dump on production. The good thing is we don't have any users.
