The data collector "loses" it's touch screen

Then it locks itself

And the only way to unlock is to swipe the screen

gorse noun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Any of several related plants of the genera Ulex and Genista. Common gorse (U. europaeus) is a spiny, yellow-flowered leguminous shrub native to Europe and naturalized in the Middle Atlantic states and on Vancouver Island. The large green spines and green twigs of Spanish gorse (G. hispanica), native to Spain and northern Italy, make it appear evergreen in winter. Both species bear yellow, pea-like flowers and grow well in dry soil.

As I recall, Gorse is a nasty little bugger. Think black berry vines but shorter and stiffer.

When you delete a file 15mins after you spent 1 hour driving around and setting up units and 2 hours collecting data.
