Has any ever done anything really stupid concerning plants?

I have. I once sterilised my brewing equipment in the bathroom
without removing the house plants first. Result? Instant acid rain
from the sulphur dioxide leading to everything dying within half an
hour.

Not short term like that, but long term when we had our first garden.
Joan bought a Flowering Cherry which 'looked nice'. Didn't think of the
finished height and size of the tree :-((

After we moved, the tree had to be cut down because it spanned the
garden and went into the gardens either side :-(
