Ages ago, at a Big Data center. They stopped take your kid to work day for IT department.
Apparently large bright red button and 3 year olds don’t mix.
Much fun was not had.

I was left by myself for a bit and went across to look at the server and open the door - only after I pressed the button did I realise that it was the on/off switch rather than a door open.
I hastily switched it back on and made it back to my seat before before anyone came to the room to check what had happened to their server!
Edit: this is back when on/off really meant on or off with respect to power :)
Apparently two dimwits from another tenant were onsite tending to their rack when they saw the big red buttons on the wall spaced ten feet apart, and wondered what they would do when you held them down simultaneously.
Turns out, they did precisely what the not-so-little signs said they would.
