When I take out "all" the screws to remove a part or cover or whatever and it won't budge or come off. I'm thinking I'm not stupid, what the hell is wrong with this piece of sh*t; then SNAP!
The part or cover comes out but there's a broken piece where that one last screw was.
And I just sit there for a minute and think, I swear I looked all over and there's no way there was one more screw that needed to be removed...
When you lose an "essential" screw that holds something important in place and you can't find it...so you start looking in other areas of the copier to try and find a similar screw that's "non-essential" that you can take and use.
When you have to come back on site a second time because you told the customer that you have to do an important upgrade modification from the manufacturer but you really need to go get your drill and drill out the screw that you stripped.
When you did a really good job and fixed like what seemed to be a very difficult thing to trouble shoot...and you feel all good and happy and self confident and a little voice in your head says...wow you've really come a long way in your career and you're starting to get to the point in life where you actually know what the hell you're doing and gee, I'm finally like a master technician or something...and the hormones and chemicals in the brain are giving you a natural high...
...then the problem that you "fixed" comes back...

Sorry - but don't you mean frimware!!!
This has happened to me so many times, when I get this feeling, I quickly tell myself that thinking too much of oneself happens right before you crash and burn.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Coke in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!".
Your fitting a new control panel and you drop a screw.
If Issac Newton is to be believed it should be on the floor.
After fifteen minutes of searching you give up, only to find the screw in the darkest corner of the delivery tray.
Before you're 10 minutes down the road.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success
