What is the worst thing you've ever done to someone else's pc?
At my first permie job, we redirected the entire floor's worth of phonelines to this twat of a boss. For the first hour he was answering the phone like a city trader. Took him a whole hour to suss it.
PBX japes are such fun. Childish, true, but such fun.
I once spilt coffee on a 5.25" floppy and wanted to get the data off. put it into 3 work pcs before deciding it was not going to work. And neither did the floppy drives on the pcs....
I heard of one joke, not sure if it was true, but it involved the "Doom Bunny".
Open plan office, with 30 pc's.
Cue 12.00.00 pm, screensaver kicked in on PC A, Doom Bunny appeared, hopping from left to right, for about 10 seconds.
Cue 12.00.10 pm, Doom Bunny appears on pc B to the right.
They got the bunny to hop all around the office PC's.
Had everyone in stitches, apparently.
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
