Default Ways in which you abuse household/office equipment

This is a place to post your funny stories of ways in which you overload, max out, and abuse your household and office equipment. Some examples I have at home are loading the washing machine so full of clothes that the washer barely has room to function. I also load my blender so full of goodies that the blades can hardly turn. At work I load the Xerox copier so full of copies that it jams the automatic stapler. Mad props to whoever has the best story!!

i put too many clothes in the washer once and i thought it was gonna ram itself through the wall once it got to VTEC spinning the clothes around.

hmm, i have broken my fair share of video game controllers. I burnt the floor buffer up once running it too hard with too much wax on the wood floors....old pos.

lock up a computer program on a daily basis at work trying to multi-task....

At a friends house we got super drunk and put a few beer cans, a fork and some scissors in the microwave just to see what would happen (rental) it looked like a lightning storm sparks and crap flying all over the inside. then some jerk took out the scissors and burned me with the tip, I was too drunk to kick his ass, but I should have....
