Don’t panic equals instant panic

Why do the simple words "don’t panic" instantly result in any normal sane person turning into a screaming idiot? Along with the usual fact that put in front of a computer a rather too large percentage of humans turn into gibbering wrecks with the intelligence of slugs with crayons stuck up their noses; you utter these words and will receive instant floor show panic. It’s like some japanese toy wind up and watch them go scene. Next time someone has some IT related disaster try those fearful words and watch the mind dribbling insanity. If nothing else it makes a Friday afternoon pass quicker.
