I finally saw the danger of cheap cables at a Denver coffee shop

I was waiting for my latte and watched a guy's phone go from 40% to dead in 10 seconds because his frayed USB-C cable sparked and killed the port. Has anyone else seen a bad cable wreck a device in public like that, or am I just paranoid now about my own backups?

That "40% to dead in 10 seconds" part made me laugh because my own cable is held together with hope and electrical tape right now. Guess I'm playing chicken with my phone every time I plug it in.
