I once ran rm -rf / in a virtual machine just for fun to see what it would happen.
rm -rf /
The VM had some shared disks with my actual OS and it started deleting everything that I had on my desktop and some other important folders.
I was long due for a backup so I ended up losing a crap ton of data, but now I will never forget to check for shared disks when i'm working in a VM.
