Same, I didn't realize the directory I was deleting had a symlink to some root directory, at least until my mouse stopped working....

Gnome used to have a link to your homedir in its settings directory.

I imagine plenty of people had tons of fun with that. But you need to modify rm to follow symlinks nowadays.
