The avalanche of e-mail that occurs when someone inappropriately sends out an e-mail to a large list, which then triggers "reply all" from many list members to remove them from the list. When this occurs during a holiday, the out-of-office messages also echo back and forth, worsening the problem.
That IT newbie sent a note to a global e-mail list during Christmas, and the ensuing spamalanche crashed our server!
