There's a subreddit called shittysysadmin where someone complained that
they applied their firewall rules on the wrong interface and locked
themselves out of the network[1] and the responses were hilarious. This
one made me cough up my coffee.

"That's why I always configure a backdoor - TCP 3389 to my domain
controller"

"Please brother at least tell me you used Password1 and not just Password
for administrator."

"I used Summer2029!, so it'll be secure for another 3 years"
