Working in IT...
I often have to remove hard disks to image them etc. Most manufacturers put screws / lug thingys on the edge to hold them in place when in the computer. These 'thingys' impede my progress as they don't fit in a USB caddy (unless first unscrewed)...
I've hacksawed the edges off mine, so drives just plop in nicely without the hassle of removing the screws first.

After:
My boss has also copied this as it makes our nerdy tinkerings so much easier :D
