Right up there with the classic Macintoshes with unshielded speakers nested right up against the hard drive and would periodically emit a tone that would reboot the computer.
My personal favorite was the early-90s Macs that didn’t have an eject button for the floppy drive, but did have a pushbutton power switch … directly above the floppy drive. It took me weeks to stop powering off the computer every time I wanted to eject the floppy. Silly me, not picking up on the oh-so-very-intuitive practice of dragging the floppy icon over to the trash can in order to eject it.
Also extra fun was if the computer was non-functional and had a floppy disk in it, since it required working software in order to eject the disk, you had to do some disassembly in order to retrieve the disk.

Which computer was that? I had a bunch of early apples and Macs, and they all had a little paper clip hole to manually eject the floppy
That sounds like planned obsolescence as the speaker slowly rots the bits spinning nearby
