This literally happened to me just on Friday with my 20 month old grandson.

He does not distinguish between home computer and work computer. "Poopah"'s home computer plays CocoMelon.

He came in while I had stepped away for a second and managed to send ''.'/'/''// (including pressing Enter) to my entire Slack team before I could stop him.

What could I do but follow up with "Grandson says say hi, apparently."

Luckily everyone sent .

I once intended to do ”rm -rf *~” in a project folder about a week before it was to go on the arXiv. Only problem: I managed to hit enter before ~ …

I once did a "$ delete [...]*.*;*" under VAX/VMS while accidentally having my working directory at the top of the file system. This is almost the same command -- a recursive removal of everything at or below the working directory. As I recall, I was fortunate to do it under version 2.5 where the command was bugged so that the recursive removal did not take place. I think it aborted at the first file protection violation rather then proceeding to the next file as it should have.
