I work with lots of different clouds and any time I switch focus to a terminal I have to figure out which cloud it’s environment is set up to use. My terminal emulator has the same color scheme as my IRC client, so I’ve probably typed “set | grep OS_” into IRC accidentally about a million times over the years.
Another fun one is that several times over the years I’ve gotten pings on IRC because someone was trying to copy/paste a large section of text from an IRC meeting into an email (usually to continue a conversation that was started during a meeting after we ran out of time). Several times someone has accidentally pasted the text right back into their IRC client instead of their email client, so everyone in the meeting got notified that they’d been mentioned again.
