Hey you ain't lived until you dropped a box of 5000 punch cards, Oh and that was so advanced compared to having to load the bootstrap loader by hand via toggle switches. Hey the good news was there were only 15 instructions to know exactly to the the computer to boot from paper tape!

Back in the 80's when we had a variety of floppy disk formats, 8 inch, hard and soft sectored, 16 sector vs 32 sector etc, and the introduction of 5.25 in diskettes etc, I was working for a company that produced high end typsetters. We were distrbuting a family of fonts on 7, 8 inch floppies with the instructions on how to install the fonts. A couple of days after shipping the fonts, our tech support team got a call from a client stating that they were haveing a problem installing the fonts. The client was not sure what they were to do about the problem that they had encountered. They said that they had 6 of 7 disks in the drive, but no matter how they tried, they could not get the 7th diskette into the drive, and they could not seem to get any of the diskettes out at this point to re-try inserting the diskettes. They wanted to know "How to procceed". We had to put a field engineer on the next flight out with a new diskette drive and a new set of font diskettes! We all laughed about this one for a very long time every time someone would recall or retell the story! It never got embelished either, it did not need to because life is so much funnier all on its own!
