They needed me to help them because the Flash drive "wasn't working". They ended up shoving it in backwards and completely destroying the port. I asked why they did it and they said it wouldn't go in.
I had a boss who once told me that there are two things you should never force: love and machines. If you have to try that hard, you're doing it wrong.

Until it comes to seating RAM, or plugging/unplugging the 24-pin motherboard power cable.
The power cable of my nightmares... Everytime I feel like they want you to brake it, just so you need to buy a new one
I remember the old days, before RAM had little hydraulic presses to keep them in the motherboard... If you looked at the case wrong, the RAM would jump a mm so it was disconnected but still looked fine, or worse had an intermittent connection and would cause all sorts of issues.
Very wise words indeed.
That reminds me, a customer at a place I was working front desk for once managed to shove their money into a small gap between the cash slot and the outer case of a vending machine. I'm talking paper money and it was completely gone, so they really had to work to achieve this. Of course they got mad at me for being unable to open the case or get a technician to do it on a Sunday morning.
