I've seen people do stupid stuff with floppy disks. The older ones which were actually floppy would often get stapled. It's partly why the newer ones aren't floppy. They're more durable and less likely to get stapled.
Though they're not immune from people doing stupid things that ruin the data on them like shown here.
