when you are coding in Visual Studio and press
Ctrl + A, del and Ctrl + S
then you are done for today 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

As long as you hit Ctrl + Z, Ctrl + S before Alt + F4 you will be fine!
"UNDO" - the only command worth putting in all caps!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

touché ...
but when you are taking an elephant while debuging an endless loop? 
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

Absolutely! That's how UNDO is pronounced (English has some very obscure pronunciation rules you know).
...and stop calling me Shirley!

If you have TFS or similar
|
|
|
|
|
You only lose code once due to missing backups (either manual backups or source control). And if you do you only have yourself to blame

Hate the programmer do not hate the program

If you're coding without source control then you're a fool. It may not be integrated in the IDE like that, but you should be always able to revert changes at worst back to the last checkin point.
|
|
|
|
|
I don't need a source control since I'm a solo developer no need the check in check out so other developer don't mix with my code.
|
|
|
|
|
The history preservation is still a good enough reason to use source control. I work in a team in my job, but I have hobby coding at home that no-one else can touch, but it's still worth setting up an SVN repository for it. It means that if I screw up it's far easier to get back to a working state.

Then i'd say, the awkward moment when you type format c:
into cmd and press enter
if(this.signature != "")
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}

There is no Ctrl + Z for that

I once tested a driver on the same machine as I was building it on.
It BSODed, and when I rebooted and opend the project half my source files contained nothing but full stops.
I didnt do that again.

Ah, the joys of tweaking production code because after all, "it has to work".

No, I was really developing a kernel driver, crashed my machinem and it trashed half my source code.
Dont test on a dev machine is the moral.

Without a doubt. That's what I was alluding to.

Really?
I have no idea how "tweaking produciton code, because it has to woek" is in any way relevant then.

The awkward moment you get your P45 for the willfull destruction of company property
You cant outrun the world, but there is no harm in getting a head start
Real stupidity beats artificial intelligence every time.

It can only be improved by going berserk yelling NOOOOOOOOOOO! while you are wildly unplugging all the cables on your computer.
Don't forget to throw the monitor to your nearest colleague.

Try the following:
Write some long text in Notepad pressing Ctrl + S from time to time.
At one point you accidently press Ctrl + A instead and continue typing.
Next time you press Ctrl + S again.
The good thing about pessimism is, that you are always either right or pleasently surprised.

This is one reason that the old school Alt+F, S reflex wins ... if you fat-finger that you get Save As which is not a problem.
