I've been in business for over 40 years and I can come up with some
stories, but I'm going to switch gears from scamming customers and
relay one of my favorites:

I heard a soft pop like a flash bulb going off and I could see the
customer's silhouette against the wall for a split second. He stood
up from behind the TV blinking his eyes while I asked him if the fuse
blew. He gave me trouble when I went out to the truck to get a new
module.

That reminds me of a holiday job I had between school and college. The
company made PA/music systems for supermarkets etc, designed by a very
snooty engineer who deigned to look at prototypes. So he was inspecting
one with the covers off quite closely when an electrolytic blew up,
covering him with damp confetti. We had great difficulty not spluttering
ourselves...
