I’ve taken entire systems offline because of unexpected command expansion.

My “favourite” was “admin”, which was used as the login user, was also short form for “administer-all-port-shutdown” (or words to that effect; it was a long time ago). So if you were distracted when logging in, you could easily soft-lock the entire device meaning you’d have to then run into the DC, find the hardware, and physically power cycle it.

Absolute madness.
