Once had a site wide outage (biggish manufacturing company) of the internet and backup servers because one of the women wanted to plug her hair straighteners in for the xmas party. In a surprise to literally no one that happening on the last friday before xmas break got my "We need to secure the main comms cabinet" (which had the backup server and main ingress for WAN and was in a separate building on other side of site) item that I'd been asking about for months to the top of the list. Still one of my favourite "outages" because I got to my desk, turned PC on, no network, walked across the landing into the main office, opened comms cabinet, plugged it back in and was "resolved" before the MD got to my desk.
