Way back in the early days of PCs, I bought a cheap game bundle that came with Life & Death. The game used CGA graphics (4 whole colors!) and the PC speaker. None of the games in the bundle came with manuals, so I had no idea how to play or that it could use the speaker.

So I headed off to surgery. First thing I did was pick up the scalpel. The nurse helpfully told me I should anesthetize the patient first. "What kind of hospital is there where I have to do everything myself?" And I started searching for the anesthesia. I had no clue what anything was, but I finally found a syringe labeled with the letter "A". A for anesthesia, maybe? I gave the patient an injection of "A" and then picked up the scalpel. The nurse didn't say anything, so I figured that must be it. I took the scalpel and cut a large square on the patient's abdomen.

The computer SCREAMED

This absolutely startled the hell out of me, and then I burst out laughing at the absurdity of the whole thing.
