My most interesting experience was the first day I worked at the Baltimore Orioles (a long time ago). The offices were under the seats of the ballpark...and a few kegs had leaked, forming a large pool of beer. All things being told, the beer dripped through the floor, which was the ceiling of the computer room. It wiped out the main server.

Fun first day at work.
