How else are you supposed to remove the CPU?

Anyway, ineptitude can be shown more subtly with some actual mistakes people make:

• Bent CPU pins from forceful insertion the wrong way.
• Ripped wires off a connector by not releasing the lock first.
• Prying off a fan’s blade rather than unscrewing its frame.
• HDD open in an obviously unclean environment, scratches on platter.
• Using an obviously wrong (wood) screw.
• Connector tabs broken off, cable is now held in with inappropriate amounts of clear tape
• Prying something that should obviously slide away in another direction, visible PCB bending.
• Burning a flat plastic cable while attempting to solder it.
• Using glue instead of solder
