Mine was the ps1 start-up sound that ran on too long

And I had to wait it out a bit... because every once in a bluemoon, it would manage to push through

If you flipped it over and ran it upside down it would work for some reason.

Had an old workplace where everyone knew that the servers needed blood to function. You would reach into the cabinet, make your fix with absolutely no trouble and take your hands out to find a huge gash in your hand that you should have felt when you received it. No pain, just bleeding.

At a location, their servers wouldn’t work unless there was candy on top of the server rack and at least one stuffed animal in the room. I was jealous of their technomancy.
