Let's share some unpleasant mechanical failures we've had

ear derailleur cable snapped and had to slowly grind my way through the second half in my smallest rear cog.

There’s an easier way out of that one, involving tying a knot in the remaining part of the cable close to the derailleur, to set it somewhere else than the smallest cog. Using the limit screw is an alternative but less effective method.
