My favorite story is one time we where preparing for a big presentation on a new feature, which involved rendering lots of things with handlebars on the browser, everything was working perfect. We showed to the manager, he liked it, and ask us for a rehearsal on the presentation later this day.

During the rehearsal, the page stop working. The browser didn't render a thing. After some debugging, it turn out that the machine where the presentation was happening did an auto Chrome update that bloated the GPU usage, but only with OSX Yosemite. Took us many hours to find this out. But the fix was easy. Use Another machine for presentation, and wait a couple of weeks for another chrome update.
