I'd like to make this a living / work in progress entry and would really like feedback for when y'all wipe your device.

Personally I hate having to wipe a device. The only time I wipe is when I'm upgrading the OS and I absolutely hate it, because I then need to reconfigure all the poorly written applications I use as a restore doesn't restore their configuration settings.

But sometimes there are valid reasons to wipe a device. Here are a few I've collected:

I tell ya folks you mean to go away for a few days and it turns into several weeks.
