anyone gotten a scratch on component and gone mad

I was wondering if anyone has been driven crazy by getting a scratch, ding or broken piece on new, expensive gear. I hate when this happens.

Been there, done that, (expecially on new cars!) This is one of the benefits of buying equipment used. (One expects small nicks, scratches and/or dings on used equipment, and so one is not nearly so ticked off when "another" accident occurs.) Just remember, it will sound just as good with a small nick, scratch or dent, as it did when it was pristine!

I mean I guess I didn't scratch it but......it did bother me a bit. Years of therapy with a team of doctors had almost made me forget about it.....until this thread came along. Thanks buddy!!!!
