I always tell people that the most dangerous user is not the novice (they're too scared of doing something wrong not to follow directions) but the person who knows what he's doing! My DOS favorite (I've done it at least 5 times over the years) is being annoyed with that "are you sure" prompt for DEL *.*

CD \
DIR \somedir
     yep, that's the directory I want to empty all right
DEL *.*
Are you sure (Y/N)?  Yup.  I've been programming for 20 years.  Of course I'm sure

oops. Now WHERE did I put my boot disk and those backups?????
