The OnosecondWired magazine once defined the 'onosecond' as the time between hitting 'send' and realising that you really didn't mean to send that to your granny.
What inappropriate email/text/photo have you sent to wrong people? Are they speaking to you any more?

Networks & RoutersWhen fucking around with the config on routers attached to the live network, some of which may well be physically hundreds or thousands of miles away, it's always disheartening when after entering a command you don't get a prompt back. It generally means you've just broken the route between you and said device.
As this is never done intentionally, you might not be surprised to learn that it often means you've fucked up connectivity for a large number of irate people.
Interestingly, the software seems to know what it feels like to make this sort of error, as occasionally it will leave you waiting a few seconds before printing the prompt - for no apparent reason. Chain of thought: "tum tum tu... oh, fuck, comeoncomeon, what'd I do? Ohthankfuckforthat!"
