When you accidentally create a literal tilde (~) directory and then panic-delete your entire home folder... classic career-shortening move! The tilde in Unix/Linux is shorthand for your home directory, but this poor soul created an actual folder named "~" and then ran rm -rf ~/ thinking they were being precise. Spoiler alert: they weren't deleting the tilde folder—they were nuking their entire home directory from orbit. That moment of realization between "Stopped thinking" and updating your resume is approximately 0.3 seconds.
