Probably not very funny, but certainly memorable. I was working for AT&T - we had a few new server's come in - basically jumbo sized (very heavy) PC's. One had to be shipped back to the NJ office for whatever reason.
We paid $62,500 for these things - each (a number which is etched into my brain).
Instead of deligating, I just shipped it myself. I grabbed one of the original boxes - put it all in with lots of bubble pack - taped it up real good...
well...
I taped up the open TOP of the box real good. I never thought to look at the BOTTOM of the box...
It shipped in this box originally so I guess I just assumed it was fine. It was not.
To make matters worse, we also had a policy in our office to never insure shipments (to save money). Of course, our shipments were usually worthless documents, not expensive computer equipment.
Well - you guessed it - the box arrived in NJ with a SMASHED server. Apparently they were moving the box between trucks - or over some kind of gap - and it fell out - and dropped FAR down onto pavement.
The damage was pretty impressive. Not much was salvageable.
