The moment you dare to think "today's been pretty quiet" is precisely when the database gods decide to unleash chaos. Transaction deadlocks are like ninjas - they hide silently until you've let your guard down, then BAM! Your production server is suddenly playing musical chairs with database connections while you're trying to enjoy dinner.

The smug face perfectly captures how these deadlocks seem to have a personal vendetta against your peaceful evening.
