Virgin auto throttle - notepad - fuel control switch oopsie

How has this not made it on here yet?

Picture the throttle quadrant on a 737. Thrust levers, and fuel control switches (the newer penis-y style). But also with a stiff notepad sitting behind the thrust levers in cruise.

Top of descent, thrust reduces, auto throttle moves back. Notepad pushed back by Thrust levers and contacts a fuel control switch. MOVING 1 TO THE CUTOFF POSITION. OOOPS!
