Inspired by the commercial with the kid hanging on the dry cleaning rack.

Personally, I shocked myself with a power supply 37 times and blew up capacitors just because the smell pissed people off.

I did kegstands a few times. That was fun. And made a marijuana pizza. It was good.

I worked at a Tmobile call center for about a year a few years back. This thing was about three or four stories tall but it was only one level so it had an uber high ceiling. My budy and I had a bunch of nerf toys and crap like that that we'd fling/shoot up and the ceiling, to each other, etc.. One of my favorite things was this little swoosh ball (if anyone remembers those) on this huge rubber band. A little swoosh ball slingshot type thing. Anyway, one day I was firing this thing up at the ceiling and I misjudged a bit and got a bit to close to one of the lights which were these big long flourescents that were grilled on the bottom part but completely open on the top. Anyway, this thing sailed right up over the light and dropped right down inside it. I just new that thing was going to get so hot it caught fire. Scared the crap out of me. Nothing ever came of it, though, to my relief.

Worked at McDonalds as a kid. A rude, annoying, heavy set woman threatened with the infamous, "You lost my buisness, I'm never coming into this resteraunt again!"

I replied, "Can I get that in writing?"


Had a long talk with the boss on that one. :)

I used to send messages through Novell to one of the old hag secretaries that knew nothing about computers or networking that said "System integrity failure. Please reboot." Might sound stupid, but it worked every time. Of course everyone knew it was me so we were hysterical watching her reboot every 5 minutes.

I told off a customer and told him to leave when I working at Wendy's and my boss thanked me for it. He said it saved him the trouble.

A buddy of mine was working the cash register when an ex employee came in and started swearing at everyone. My buddy decked him.

On July 4th back then, I went to work even though I wasn't scheduled. We pulled up chairs and a case of beer on to the roof and watched the fireworks. I remember the guy on the drive through register was drinking vodka all night and could barely talk to customers.

That job sure was fun. ;-)

I microwaved a foil-wrapped chipotle burrito one time in a company microwave. It didn't do nice things to the microwave. I also hosted some porn on a company server one time ... it got linked and sucked down 20mbps ... that took some explaining.
