Re: Thought this might amuse you...
I have seen quite a few over the years, but the mention of WD40 brings me out in stitches!
One day while at work a patient phoned (I was in healthcare) and asked if I could look at his desktop computer as it was not starting up properly. As our clients often used their computers for essential communication (they were disabled), I said that if he brought it in I would have a look. It was not someone I knew but others looked in horror when I mentioned him and said (in no uncertain terms) I could sort!
When the client came in with the computer I could smell the WD 40. The problem probably was that the hard drive had failed, but on opening the case I could literally pour the WD40 out. He must have used an entire can because everything was coated.
Needless to say I advised and got shut asap. Luckily (for us) it was not a computer we had provided hence had responsibility for.
