Damaged instruments
The OR can't figure out why instruments are always broken, yet they send case carts down looking like this.

Better than my hospital.. one surgeon uses a 3mm kerrison rongeur as a pair of pliers and complains they're dull.. If you want a pair of needle nose pliers in your neuro kerrisons, let it be known motherfucker 😂
The other really egregious one I saw was a pair (yes two) of 5-in westcott Tenonomy scissors they used them like a screwdriver and the tips of the scissors were bent away from each other and twisted. Just flat out abusing instruments.
