#10 is a Mac.

I do like those kinds of articles though. The "insane amount of packaging for small thing I ordered" is my favorite.

39's caption says a laser printer "exploded". Who knows.

Looks more like a bottle and fill funnel on the desk - I think someone was trying to refill a toner cartridge and squeezed too hard.

Overall most of those were pretty "meh." Excepting the frog and the mice I've seen worse working on people's machines.

The worst is ants imo, damned things go crazy biting and run everywhere. The one time I ran into roaches was only a small number, but I suppose that might be worse.
 
I just wonder what the thermal conductivity of a frog is though. I mean, it has to be better than the stock Intel heatsink, right?
 
#3 I've seen or close to on a few occasions for computers for friends I've fixed.

Smokers with a long hair cat pet they don't vacuum up after = computer being fried after a month or two of use due to overheating because of all the ashes + cat hair stuck inside. Just gross.
 
Had a heavy smoker at work who retired. They smoked outside, so their computer was fine, but I tossed their keyboard and mouse without a second thought.
