Today in development: discovered that it's possible via combination of keys to rename a database in SQL Server Management Studio without as much as a dialog box to confirm.
Shout out to the 2000ish users in production that discovered this delightful nugget of info with me.
Lessons learned:

B) Make sure your user hasn't been granted ALTER DATABASE permissions without your knowledge before you start using it.
