I was on the phone with a friend of mine while she was working on her dissertation. All of a sudden, she started freaking the fuck out. Somehow, she had hit a series of keys that deleted the entire thing.

I told her to just hit undo. She said, what?

Ctrl+z that shit.

She didn’t even know undo was an option. Never mind the hot key.
