Nightmare:

Hit '2' instead of '1'. Where 1 was "make a backup", and 2 was "restore backup". And there was no feedback that a restore was happening rather than a backup.

And it was for year end processing of all the accounting data.

Unfortunately, this nightmare scenario happened for real. Almost 40 years ago, and still haunts my nightmares.
