* Roger from ''[[FoxTrot]]'' has blown up his wife and younger son's computers at least five times. He also seems to have the "talent" of accidentally deleting the files of the computer ''with one click''. He needs an entire manual to find the ON button, and once even mistook the computer simply being turned off as being frozen! He once bought the Windows version of a program even though their PC was a Mac (he thought "windows" meant the one on the wall of the house) and when it said, "You've Got Mail!" he went outside to check their mailbox, and then came back and called it a liar.
** It's not just the computer that he has wrecked. He also wrecked several other electrical appliances, and in one arc, he also ended up flooding the house just by attempting to use the dishwasher.
** Other than Roger, there's also an implied instance of this trope in this comic:
Line 82:
'''Manager:''' Johnson, I said to wash out the '''''butter''''' server!
'''Johnson:''' ''(offscreen)'' Oops. }}
* In ''[[Dilbert]]'' the titular character has this happen to him when he loses "The Knack" (for engineering) in the animated series.
** This trope also pays a visit to Dilbert starting [http://dilbert.com/strips/comic/2000-02-21/ here] when he's assigned a new lab partner named [[Meaningful Name|Paul Tergeist]].
