I was working for a phone company a few years back. One day on the tech bench, I find a pager with the note "Doesn't work" written on the trouble ticket rubber-banded to it. I pull the rubber band off, slide the pager out... the whole thing is wrapped in electrical tape. "What the..." I think, unwrapping the tape. The entire pager falls to pieces. I call my manager over, point to the pager, and ask, "Should I even bother?"
Dude went through the roof. We found out later that the pager belonged to one of the line crew guys, and they had managed to run over it with a bucket truck.
Must admit though, the ticket was accurate in its most basic sense; the pager did not work. ;)
