I like the office prank of when someone leaves their computer unlocked, sending an email or meeting invite to the office distribution. - "I'm making friendship bracelets for everyone, please come by and tell me what colors you'd like" - "Having a yard sale because I'm moving, does anyone want any of this stuff? (first 3 seasons of Lost on DVD, Fortnite Monopoly, oak entertainment center that fits 32" CRT TV, etc.)" - "I brought in cookies, stop by my desk to pick one up" - "I have one extra ticket if anyone wants to come with me to the Huckleberry County Sheep Festival this weekend, let me know"

Wasabi the J posted:Ctrl + Alt + (down/left/right) No longer works on Windows 10, RIP. I knew a guy who kept pre-written prank messages saved in an obscure corner of the share drive, so that even with 30 seconds of access time he could fire off an absolutely massive, ridiculous screed from someone's account. A more subtle prank is loving with someone's autocorrect dictionary so that it starts replacing, e.g., "boat" with "butt".

I’ve been a fan of the fake update website for a while: https://fakeupdate.net/ Go to that site, pick the appropriate operating system, and full screen the website. They’ll come back thinking their comp just decided to update on its own.

The classic Windows 95 era trick was to take a screenshot of their desktop, move all their icons into a folder and drag it offscreen. Lower the task bar all the way, too. Then set the picture of desktop as the background. Folks will be madly clicking on everything thinking their computer has frozen. gently caress. I'm old.

I replaced "hi" with the entire text of the Gettysburg Address and every common word I could think of (I, me, my, they, them, etc.) with "nyoom" As a result she'd just send out complete gibberish. Except when she'd say "hi." That crashed her phone instead.

I was always partial to the startup .bat that would change the desktop background. I only did it to sports fans and would just make it be a background of whatever rival team it was.

The best computer sabotage prank was to drag one of the 150kW three-phase transmission lines in, run it straight to the persons computer, and wait for them to turn it on. Lol, that was a good time

I had to stop myself the other day when asking a new guy if he had a cable stretcher. He told me he didn't so I just told him who to talk to that would fix his problem. Getting old either sucks or gets better I guess.

Speaking of. I got to work this morning after rushing out yesterday to take our network admin to the dentist. Our computers aren’t cac enabled due to reasons. So my stupid loving coworker locked out my account instead of using one of the other 30 computers in our empty office. I went to get it unlocked but now the admin is busy getting pulled this way and that way by the ships officers. I’m literally gonna throw his cac off the loving ship if I see it. He can wait a month to get a new one.

I like when I get emails when a user has locked themselves out. It prepares me for the phone call. Sometimes I just never get the call? I know they are not ghost users because it is a real person. They just say nope don't need that access anymore.

I told him he we didn't, and I was pretty sure those didn't exist (outside of bicycle repair!) and that they were just loving with him on a snipe hunt. The sergeants in my shop lovely with me and told me to help look, or something like that, so I just sat in the back room of the shop with the tools for about ten minutes before returning, pretending to have looked everywhere. Then they had a good laugh at How Well They Got Me. That was among the reasons why Kunsan taught me to never ever trust anyone else in the military, and to always expect the worst from the people supposedly there to help me.

Over all I took it pretty seriously (health insurance, job retraining all true things for me) but one question was "What has the military taught you that really stands out" and I answered "take what you can get no matter how small because the rest of the day is unknown and everything can instantly go sideways". I doubt my sheet will get picked for publication but with my luck it probably will.

I went into the forward bosun's locker and took a nap for a couple hours, then came back bitching performatively about how many places I'd been looking. I'd been warned.

One of the mehcanics in the Motor T company I was attached to tried to pull some blinker fluid poo poo on me so I just asked him for an NSN and i'd get it in for him. He said he didn't have one so I suggested he look in his manuals for it cause I can't help him without an NSN. Everyone else was smart enough not to try to pull the "look for thing that doesn't exist" trick with supply.

My first unit, the platoon sergeant played some poo poo with the other new guy. Somewhere he got a seatbelt harness, looks like it was pilfered from a car. Gave it to him and told him to install it in the tank's driver's hull. Jokes on the platoon sergeant though, he took out a bunch of bolts and fitted the drat thing and slapped it back together. Driver's seat had a seatbelt.

The Seabees do A LOT of stuff horribly, but my unit didn't do snipe hunts and the community doesn't give a poo poo if you walk on the grass.

Should tank drivers have seat belts or would that only slow them down when trying to evac and the tank shouldn't be flipping and poo poo to require it?

My first field problem ever, they locked me in the switch and told me if I had a problem, the TMs were right there. I thought it was a hazing thing, but no, they legit locked me in until chow and locked me back up. I loving despised them after two days of that poo poo. But I became a really loving good operator, so there's something to be said about throwing them off in the deep end.
