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.
