Stupidest thing you have done with a computer?

As the title suggests, what's the stupidest thing you have done with a computer?


Mine has to be pouring a bucket of water into a computer and frying the electrics of my mates house.

Whats yours?

That's going to take some beating.

Using partition magic on someones drive whilst talking on phone, being bored I decided to untangle phone cable.

Phone went flying and somehow hit the reset button = lost data.

Spilled an entire pint of lager onto the motherboard, whilst my PC was turned on and running.

It somehow survived, and after a few days of being dead it started working again.

Putting my keyboard into water to clean it out

also, not exactly something I did, but kinda stupid/geeky of me I suppose
friend was on a school computer, in dos, so for fun i just told her to type "del *.*" kinda figured she knew enough not to do something like that (we were in a computer science class learning C++). she did it anyway and I kinda freaked when she pressed enter cause I thought I might get blamed if something happened.

Luckily, she was dumb enough that when I said type that, she typed it exactly. never put a space between del and *.* hehe

When I was 13ish I memorised my mum's credit card number to buy porn.

It was after getting back from a club, so was already ripped. I just went to bed and swore at myself a lot the next morning.

Inserting the 4-pin molex power upside down, frying a 5.25 external USB enclosure, DVD-RW survived amazingly.

Removing cooler of my ancient "Morgan" Duron 1.2Ghz while the pc is on thinking it should shut down to protect the chip but it went kaput after a few seconds. Still had no idea why I did that in the first place think I was just bored with the CPU.

EDIT - oh and plugging in 4-pin molex power to the HDD while the PC is on, there was a nice sparkle then the PC shut down. It worked again though after unplugging the main several times.

Flicked the red switch on the PSU.

Dropped a screw onto my GFX card while it was on, got some nice sparks out of it.
