I remember Speedball, I loved it, probably because it was one of the few
games I had on Amiga. My parents were never happy buying games so most
of what I had was demo disks.

So of course I played it a lot. One day my father wanted to take it to
work to swap with another Amiga owner. I warned him not to take the disc
on the pot lines, those massively magnetic pots would wipe the magnetic
discs.

Of course he didn't listen and the discs were useless. Spent the rest of
my Amiga owning life, playing demos.

Where I used to work someone decided the best way to store the back-up
tapes was to use their metal backs to 'stick' them to the back of the
inside of the safe which was magnetic!

A real world tech support call from the days of floppies and no hard
drives.  Manager reports that he is always losing each day's work, it
wouldn't be on the floppy when he put it in the computer the next day.
IT tries for days to figure out what the problem is without success.
Finally one of the techies literally spends an entire day watching the
manager work, trying to see what is causing the problem.  He finally
discovers the cause when at the very end of the day the manager removes
the floppy and sticks it to the side of his filing cabinet with a magnet.

um yeah, I see you and raise you a manager who stuck the failing backup
floppies to the side of the computer with a magnet

You can't make this shit up.
