Things that made you go "oh $h*t! no! no! no! no! no! no!" with your electronics

gah. i was just cleaning the screen of my LCD, and after i was done, it looked good and walked away. then i came back about 5 minutes later and the entire freaking screen was covered in streak marks. i could barely see anything on the actual screen (as far a show or movie) and it looked very cloudy and blacks now looked gray because of the streaks on the screen.

needless to say, i was this for the last 15 minutes:

but luckily i was able to fix this (i guess i didn't dry the screen fast enough after wiping) and lower my blood pressure greatly but man! that was frightening

anyone else have some almost-tragic stories to share?
