Hey! Tell me your USB-C horror stories!

I'm writing a series for @hackaday , talking about USB-C in detail. If you feel like there's a "USB-C in the wild" story that deserves to be known (i.e. those HP laptop chargers with DRM in them), do tell or hyperlink!

Boosts appreciated!

Haha, timely. Headband lamp needed recharging, it uses USB-C connector. Grabbed a USB-C to USB-C cable from the drawer, plugged into an Apple iPad PD wart. Nothing. Found a USB-A to -C cable & compatible adaptor, that worked.
Possibly non-PD compliant device or cable. Will check tmrw.
Isn’t USB-C supposed to just work?
