User dialled his PC into a permanent state of 'Brown Alert'

Back when I was doing L1 support I was called by a user who's keyboard had stopped working. Everything was connected ok and it seemed to have just died so I brought a replacement to swap it out.

As soon as I picked up the old one to take away sugar starts falling out from between the keys. I tipped it upside down over the desk and the sugar just kept streaming out while he sits there saying nothing and smiling like an idiot.

Later one of his co workers told me that he had a habit of eating donuts at his desk and had been doing so pretty much every day for the last 3 years.
