Worst tech experience youve ever had?

Title says it all, describe your worst tech-related nightmare - desktop, laptop, Mac, tablet, phone, anything. Mine had to be messing around with jailbreaking/downgrading firmware on my old iPhone 3GS (I ended up bricking it )

I spent a whole day trying to connect my new router because the connection was really bad.
I finally called the company and they told me the plug can't be connected to a power bar.... WTH

I soft-bricked my nexus...luckily it was an easy solution to fix so no harm . I guess my worst tech experience was trying to root a phone for 2hrs...

A few months ago, my connection was really bad. I'm still not sure what was wrong with it.. It pissed me off so much and cost me like $200 to fix

A while ago my desktop won't turn on. So, I tried pressing the button multiple times, holding the button for few seconds/minutes. Opening the compartment to look inside (even though I didn't know wtf to look for) and even blowing/wiping the dust off the inside.

It turned out that someone had unplugged the cpu. I just facepalmed myself.
