"I was in college getting ready to visit friends at another college about 4 hours away. I had packed my laptop in my backpack which had one of those side inserting pouches for laptops but I forgot to zip it up. As I was getting ready to leave, I swung the backpack over my shoulder and the laptop flew out like a slingshot. Found it was damaged but still worked. Went on my trip super bummed I had damaged my laptop.

At the end of the trip, I came back home ready to relax and watch some TV. To my horror, there are huge cracks in the tv and the entire picture was ruined. Turns out that I had slingshotted my laptop into my TV. I Did about 1k worth of damage in 1 second, all because I forgot a zipper."
