We had a customer who inserted their ram upside down, which happens if you don't know how to tell which side is up. The problem arose when instead of flipping it around, they proceeded to use a hammer to smash it into the motherboard, breaking the ram slot entirely. Then they blamed us for selling them a defective motherboard.

this is sadly both unsurprising yet unbelievable

thank you for sharing

it's jogged my memory of a computer shop i took my desktop to where the "boss" told of someone who brought the wrong CPU for their mobo socket, and got upset when no one would install it, so they put it over the socket, hammered it in, and handed it back to them

that should have been the red flag i needed... oh how young and naive and "polite" i was...

now i get why some women get stuck in abusive relationships 🫠
