Advance warning: This is a long thread.
I stumbled across an article that lists a ton of hilarious pictures of poor upkeep/terrible damage done to various tech parts. Melted PCs, expanding batteries, horrific cable management and all the hilarity in between. I've listed a bunch of them below.

This thread has made my day.
I laughed hard at the first one. In all my years of work, I've yet to experience anyone loading the entire packaging Into the tray. The custom hinges on the laptop Is also hilarious. Probably something my ethnic grandfather would do.

I don't know what's more cursed, a computer tower getting so hot it's literally melting, or server room cable management that looks like a gigantic bowl of spaghetti.
Whatever these pictures are, they are definitely going to give me nightmares.
