Back in the Windows Server 2003 days, when you hit "Shutdown" there was a screen that pop'd up to ask you what you wanted to do. Shutdown, Restart, Etc.
I hit Shutdown, instead of restart. The server was in a colo a thousand miles away. Unfortunately at that time, a colo that didn't over overnight staff onsight (oncall yes, but not on site). Also we had no IPMI.
I had to page some poor dude at 1am to drive 30mn (each way) into the colo to push the "on" button. I felt terrible. (Small company, it was our one critical production server)
