My career in IT (at the uni support desk) started with me screwing up an UPDATE. The colleague setting up the internal system had typed in something close to `UPDATE users SET password = hash("`, and asked me to type in the password I wanted (this was the early 2000s and an internal system, so basically standard practice). In an effort to be "helpful" I finished the statement with `");` and pressed Enter. And that's how everyone had to reset their password.
