There had been a number of times in the past where various accidents happened to my consoles and I felt like outlining them here for the heck of it. Feel free to share your consoles' bad days, too. 
PlayStation
Depending on the model you have, the PSX is either incredibly sturdy or incredibly fragile. I heard stories of people having their PSX break on them from a very small fall. Mine fell on the floor 4 times with height varying from 1 to 3 feets, received water/juice a couple of times and suffered from overheating often. It's still working flawlessly - as I'm typing this, my mom is playing Spyro 1 on it. And the most funny part? It's chipped, which is supposed to reduce a console's life.
Nintendo 64
Well my cameleon-colored 64 got an overall good treatment, mainly due to the fact that it was on a very low table. I don't remember it falling or receiving any liquid. The worst that happened to it was an EXTREME overheat. It was a burning hot summer day (at least 32C) and my whole family was trying to find some cold - my sis in the bath, my mom in front of two fans, my dad drinking cup of cold water after cup of cold water. Me? I was just sitting there wearing a winter coat, playing Super Mario 64. It didn't occur to me that the console may be overheating until, out of pure randomness, I laid my feet on it. The console literally burned me, haha.
Dreamcast
Also known as one of the most fragile consoles to ever grace the gaming industry, the DC has its share of stories. Stopping working for no reason at all, recurrent disk reading errors, corrupting VMUs (the console's memory cards)... mine has an incredible story. It fell on the floor a minimum of 10 times, again with a varying height of 2 to 4 feets. It also received its shares of liquids. But once, it fell from the freaking top of a piece of furniture which was about 5 feets high. And it was caused by my sister running through my controller's cable so it was literally sent flying across the room. It rammed against the floor, the top was opened by the sheer force of the impact, the CD got ejected and the console did a couple of barrel rolls before it stopped moving. All of it happened so fast, I didn't have time to react ; I was just staring at it, fearing the worst.
Today, after all these years of gameplay, it still works flawlessly. And my DC is chipped, too. Incredible, huh? The only thing that's messed up are the controllers' ports, you gotta hold the cables in a certain way for it to see the gamepad. Just a minor nuisance, though.
PlayStation 2/PS2 Slim
While the PS2 remains the most fragile console out of the 6th gen (GC, XBOX...), it still is quite sturdy. My friend had a PS2 since it came out - apart from a weird sound coming from the DVD drive upon boot, it still works perfectly fine.
Nah, the big problem with PS2's are the slim versions. I swear I care a lot about my stuff - my Smash Melee disc is still without any scratches and I had it since 2001. But the slims were just manufactered without any care for resilience. Four of them broke on me. FOUR !... Caused by overheating and playing games that demands a lot of loading (I'm thinking Valkyrie Profile 2). Seriously, don't play with a PS2 slim on a hot summer day. Like me, you may be going to the toilets, coming back and seeing a nice green screen.
GameCube
My GC hasn't suffered from a lot of stuff, just a few falls and... overuse of Action Replay 
Wii
That console hasn't been around in my room for a very long time, yet it already experienced about the same treatment has my DC did. It suffered from a lot of falls (more than 10... blame the abundance of cables) and it received a lot of liquids. A cup full of orange juice that messed up both my Wii's POWER and RESET buttons (they don't even move anymore), a full night receiving heavy rain from outside, and a couple of more cups containing water. And my Wii is also chipped (well actually, softmodded) which I believe may be damaging the console's NAND over the time. But I honestly don't care, the fun and enjoying I'm getting out of the homebrewed stuff finally makes that 300$ I spent on it worthy.

I really don't remember my consoles falling or anything but the most recent thing happened to my PS3 is my bird taking out the logo and chewing it. I can no longer put it back and my PS3 is now logoless LOOOOOOOL
Oh gawd, how could I even forget about the pins LOL? And I suppose that's why I'm getting a PS3.
@alidallal
Having two sisters don't help... they're not crazy but I suppose you know what kind of results happen when three kids are tearing themselves apart just for the controller. By the way, would that bird happen to be a Micro$oft fanboy? lmao
Oh yeah, careful with the talk of "modding" here on Gamespot. It is quite a volatile subject.
Here's my consoles bad days:
PS2- my ps2 has never not worked and I've never dropped (and now its on the ground so I can't drop it) for the 7 years I've had it. But there is one problem I remember, Harry Potter: Chamber of Secrets didn't play right (it was double imaged) when I tried it the week I got the PS2 in 2002.
GC- A couple annoyance with this but not too much considering how many times I pulled it down off the shelf with those short gamecube controller cords. Once in awhile, my Gamecube won't read any disc for day or so, I just keep wiping stuff and eventually it'll work.
N64- I've actually only had this about 2 years and the only thing that I've noticed was overheating but that's normal for those darn N64's.
Huh that's impressing, how did it happen? No dust every collects under the console's gray fur?
@galeria86
That's surprising indeed... not very lucky, are you?
Thanks for the advice but if I remember correctly, chipping a console is perfectly legal - what you do with it, however... that's the volatile subject, lol. Ain't getting into that.@cornerback3
loll that would be funny. Still, I think only 10% of my console's accidents happened because of me - it was always my sisters.
Yeah I remember my GC would stop reading discs every once in a while, I would move around the lens and it would work again for a few days.
I understand the situation. Me and my brothers used to fight all the time over videogames when we were young but not any more. My youngest brother is studying at the university now so we don't fight any more. As for the bird I guess he is indeed a microsoft fanboy LOOOL because he had many things to chew on but he chose the PS3 I posted a blog sometime before about this bird and his gang brothers chewing an electrical wire
. There is a picture too if you wanna check it out
My main problem is that my dad used to smoke around my consoles and that killed a few of them
By the Nine living walrus! You actually.. STABBED A SNES? I don't know but if I was you I'd be careful, a lot of people out there are harcore fanboys of the SNES. GameSpot is a dark, dark place.
But the fact it revived it is totally unbelievable.
@alidallal
Yeah I can picture that pretty well, my friend has two bros and even as teenagers there's always some ruckus over at his place. We're talking on the mic and I often hear stuff I wished I didn't LOL
But I honestly think that bird would be in danger if I saw this pic. I'm no PS3 fanboy yet but I can't predict the future
lol jk I wanna see that pic @lazyhoboguy
You know what's funny? I just remembered something about my GC, it actually completely stopped working on me once. Not from bad treatment, I just played too many dang hours on the thing lol. So I went to the pawn shop and tried my luck into selling it to them... there was like a chance in millions that it would read the disc. And it did. I got 40$ from selling a near-broken GC. Then I bought another one with that money, the GC was sitting right next to my old one. From the same shop LOL
@roguele_beau
Bubble wrap wouldn't last long with all these cats I have... a number over 10. And yeah, smoke sucks. My mom used to smoke a LOT and, at some point, my Wii was actually yellow LOL. It took time to notice though because my light bulb was almost dead, yellow-ish... it's when I replaced it that I noticed.
Wow that's being unlucky. Were you able to get a replacement from evil Dr. Sony? I'll make sure to never play that game lol. Something similar hapenned to my friend's DS though, he was playing Metroid Prime Hunters and the game card somehow got broken (I think it fell on the floor) so he clipped back the two plastic thingies making up the casing, yeah? And, for a weird reason, when he got back into the game, MAN if you only saw those glitches. You could fly around because the gravity was messed up, the sound engine was broken and quite a lot of maps were missing collision or triggers... but it was awesome LOL unfortunately it didn't work on WiFi.
