Client demo in 30 minutes. Just what could go wrong?

I was onsite deploying servers at a private hospital once where the rack had been carefully replaced by the CTO of my firm right next to the emergency power cut off switch. Essentially, if you opened the door too quickly, you'd hit the power switch and cut the power to the whole building.

Naturally, all us peasant engineers were careful and we took the door off the rack and flipped it so that it would open the other way, but the CTO whenever he went onsite would flip it back and 9 times out of 10 he would trip the emergency cut off like the colossal bell end he was.

What might not surprise you is that he now works for Rackspace.
