I'll start. It's the story that triggered this question :)
It's about the time a new technician at work did something stupid.
We received an industrial computer controlled machine with fire damage. Goal was to restore it to the state it had a seconds before the fire started.
The new tech got a simple task: disassemble the included PC (which only had minor smoke damage) and label the parts. Procedure is that we replace parts where it makes sense.
So he discarded the 3½-inch floppy drive.
