Once in my work, my job was to put 3000 documents to database. I used WorkSpace Macro and Excel chart to make it automatically. There my comp was ticking and I couldn't do anything. So I went to make something in prototype work shop. After two hours I thought it was time to go home. At night I was in bed and almost in sleep when it hit me. I had forgot to stop the macro! Quick calculation told that it had done some 4000 extra loops. Another 4000 wouldn do damage that wasn't already taken place. So at the morning I went to work and found my computer still running a macro. So I simply shut it down. There was just one error message, with second behind it with another behind it and so on and so on.... After keeping esc pressed down for some time all those (perheaps 7000, can't say) vere gone and no harm done. Lucky me.
Heh... several years ago, a co-worker went on vacation, and set her email to generate an auto-response to anyone who sent her anything. Well, she clicked the option to run the rule on all of the contents of her in-box, instead of just new incoming email, and then turned off her monitor and left. That was bad enough, but she only had about 200 emails in her in-box. The real problem was that one of the emails was to a person whose email in-box was full, and that person apparently wasn't in that day.

So she wound up with a loop. She would send an email to that person. That person's email generated a "mailbox full" reply, which generated an "out-of-office" reply, which generated... more than 10,600 emails by the next morning, when I discovered the error and stopped her email client. This was years ago, and having 10,000 emails in your in-box was pretty much unheard of at our job. Took a while for the system to delete them all, but she was on vacation after all.
