In a previous company, our sales team received a new prototype circuit board to drop into an enclosure for demo at an exhibition.
My software team got an emergency call to go down to the exhibition, to explain why our software wasn't working on the new board and make it work - or else!
When we got there, it turned out that the new board was a few millimetres too long for the existing enclosure. So, the sales team had cleverly taken a saw to the board to chop it down to size. ...which apparently couldn't have been a problem, since the sales guys couldn't see any tracks on the (multi-layered) board.
