Broke my main SQL database during a live demo at a coffee shop

I was at a Starbucks in Austin showing off my first real project to a friend. Accidentally ran a DROP TABLE command on the production database instead of the test one. The whole thing vanished in under a second while my friend just stared at me. Took me 30 minutes of pure panic before I remembered I had a backup from like 3 days ago. Has anyone else had a moment where you almost lost everything in front of someone important?

Oh man, that backup feeling is basically winning the lottery in slow motion.

My cousin once found a winning scratch-off in his couch cushions.
