I wanna know what the hell people are doing to destroy the ports on their devices. Like are you plugging your phone in then using it as a lasso? Are you smashing the plug down against something and bending the connector? In 20 years of using various smart phones I've never destroyed the port on my device.

Lint? Yes, but you can clear that out easily. But like actually destroying ports when they're clean?
