On my old laptop I accidentally left the CD tray open then I accidentally kicked it and made it snap.

Probably reinstalling Windows on it.
That is certainly my mistake (or my bloody step-father not allowing anything Mac in his house. Oh I can't wait for another month to pass and be out of his house...).

I've wiped my entire harddrive once by force shutting down my computer once (by holding the button, etc.). Cursed Windows.

I've also known someone who let someone else (who we know for warrior-like lack of intelligence and clumsiness) use their laptop while eating hot soup. Needless to say, the lappie got a soup bath, and the one who spilled the food began prying the keys away to try and wipe the hot soup off of the chips inside. Not the brightest thing...

Hmm, I guess I hacked someone's computer that is on my network. They didn't find out though, thank goodness.
If it's on your network and they left it open that isn't really "hacking".

Well...I had a laptop that I spilled Iced tea on like...umm....3 times and it was left on the floor by my brother...(i wanted to kill him) and my dad stepped on it and messed up the monitor....then another time I dropped it and it's harddrive...wich was interchangeable and happened to be conncted to a small panel on the laptop's outer case got jarred loose...Miraculously it still worked....But the absolute worse thing I did was lock myself out of the administrator account(it was running windows 2000 Pro)
I had a power user Account so it didnt hinder my usage of the computer much.
Oddly enough the data on it's harddrive is still intact...but...well...I'll just say that my brother has busted it up after the battery quit working...so the only thing left that still works is the hard drive on it...XDD
Yeah..If I could just plug it in and plug in a monitor and mouse and keyboard i could recover the files in a snap! but i'm too lazeh to do that anyhow and the files on it are like umz....years old...and umm...useless...XDDD

xDD I'd probably say messing up my keyboard with soda. And I had a password for the Administrator account, and since like, half the keys were all messed up I had to guess. For thirty. Stinking. Minutes. Until I got the password right.

And then another time, I messed up a keyboard so that the a key didn't work. Whenever I wanted to use 'a' I had to copy and paste it from somewhere else. XD Sad.
hi, i'm dead.

Definitely would have to be looking for a keygen for WinZip [I know, pathetic, but I didn't feel like reinstalling the trial although the trial does restart from the beginning of 30 days if you reinstall it], and then downloading an obvious trojan downloader program.

Ahhh. I had to run cleaners for at least three days.

It was a long time ago since I used WinZip, but doesn't the trial continue past those 30 days? I remember the countdown taking forever (You are on day 31,896 of your 30-day trial period).

The most stupidest thing I've done to my computer must be never formatting the C: disk. My old computer worked as a charm for 7 years, without any need for formatting or re-installing windows.
It was a bit slow, but it worked.

A few things:
1) Spilling a cup of coffee on it. There are openings in the top, so coffee just went right into it.
2) Knocking it down while it was on a stand.
3) My chair repeatdly knocking into it while it was on the floor
4) (I was younger) I tried doing something I saw on T.V. When it had an error, I hit it, really hard too.
5) eating various things at my desk, causing crumbs and all that to go into my keyboard. Very disgusting to me..
6) slamming the keyboard when my computer froze.
