not my story but my friends that it still haunts him to this day. he worked for a large oil and gas company and he was on call. He gets a call at 1am saying the lead accountant's PC does not turn on and that they were working on year end. The typical, it just stopped working and we need this fixed as it's impacting financial reporting. So he jumps out of bed and drives downtown to see what the issue was; he gets there and sure enough the PC was dead. In a light bulb momment, he wanted to check if anything else connected to the power bar was working, and sure enough everything connected to it was off. As he dug through the mounting of shoes under the desk, he found that the user snagged the power bar with her feet and unplugged it from the wall. She plugged it back into the power bar and not the wall plate. BINGO, unplugged it from the power bar and back up and running. i have since sent him a power bar with the power connector JB welded into it and he proudly displays it in his cubical farm.
