I was called in to fix a networked printer that's not on the network any longer.  Printer is on, no error lights, so I go to check the cables going to the wall - and it's black.  ...Strange - in an effort to make our lives easier, all our network cables are blue.  I lean down.... and it's the USB cable, somehow crammed into the wall jack.

...Bwha? 
I don't know where they got the cable from, where the network cable went, or which one of them got that USB cable to stick in there, but damn, someone has a ton of stubborn and not so much brains.  (I got back to my desk and my coworker asked if the wall jack was at least USB 2.0.)

USB on the printer side, Type B on the wall side I'm guessing.

I hate Type B - I swear it makes people stupid. I once found someone jam it in SIDEWAYS.
