That moment of chills down your spine when you delete a few records in a huge production db and thinks "strange, this is taking longer than it should?" and suddenly realise that you forgot to include the "where"-clause in the statement...

    "Sysen, do we have a current backup of that database?"
    "Why?...did you mess something up again?"
    🙈
    After a few hooplas I tend to show all (major) querys at least one person before I run them. Too much has happened in the past 😂

    Do this NOW.
    Me:
    This is complex, been working since 9 hour due to the other project....
    Manager
    But it must be done NOW, it's just deleting a few files and dirs
    Me:
    Ok...

    Half an hour later, guess which production server has had an OS till deletion of a few files and dirs?

    Remember, if your brain is completely mushy and your instinct says... Nope. This won't end well.... Better ask a coworker or just post pone it. Even if the bad manager yells at you.
