A few years ago, I was on my way into work and only about 30 minutes away from the office when I got a phone call about the CEO having some computer troubles.
I asked what the problem was...
He said I brought my laptop in a bag with a thermos of tea and the tea leak out.
I said, ok no problem I'm on my way in don't turn it on.
He said ok.
15 minutes later I got another call from him saying he tried to dry the laptop out by putting it on top of the radiator, but it was too hot and melted the bottom of the laptop.
I said, ok no problem I'm a few minutes away please just leave it alone and I'll be right there.
He said ok.
At this point I decided it might be a good idea to hit the gas and drove a little faster.
I got to the office about 10 minutes after that and went straight to his office.
Most people would give up on fixing things at this point, but this CEO was very clever and had ample resources at his disposal.
As I walked into his office I found one of the company's shop maintenance guys with tin snips and cutters trying to cut out all the "extra" plastic and metal of the computer.
I was horrified and amazed, because they said he got it to boot... Needless to say first thing I did was backup his computer.
After I got him a spare laptop and copied back all his stuff I decided it was worth a shot to call HP for their "HP accidental damage protection" thinking to myself this would never be replaced.
Not long after I got a hold of a rep from overseas he asked me to send a picture so they could see the damage. I did. They thought I was on hold or mute but nope... I could hear the tech call over his buddy’s and they all had a good laugh at this.
I've attached the picture so I hope you have a good laugh too.
