I worked for a company where the main workflow was to download an entire postgres dump at the start of the day and work off that. It took 25 min. I aliased our download command to play run a profane version of `say "beep beep"` after it finished. Then one time it spoke up during our stand up and everyone heard. It got more polite thereafter.
