I work in aviation training, and you wouldn't believe some of the squawks we get. Aircraft mechanics see the same silliness, too.
I read a list of pilot complaints to the aircraft mechanics once online, and yeah, there was much silliness in there to be had.

At another center I worked out, I had one instructor who couldn't spell bulb to save his life. He always said "such and such blub is burned out". I always answered back "replaced blub". My supervisor was checking logbooks, and started going through mine. He flipped through a couple pages, stopped, and raised an eyebrow. Flip a couple more pages, stop. This happened about 4 more times (that instructor had been busy). He finally shook his head and walked away.

Last week I got a ticket passed up from level 1 with the complaint that a router's connection was "throwing packets". Was very difficult for me to not put snark in the notes after I fixed the issue. lol
 
A Marine buddy of mine once told me about the "four foot drop" troubleshooting method. :lol1:
I cannot overstate the recuperative effect a good slam or well-placed kick has on high-powered vacuum tube (old school) communication equipment. We call "percussive maintenance".
 
Back up and running, lots of tech talk, process guys say, "Grab your backups (extracts) while you can."
