The Dirty Secrets of Your TradeSo, Television is a hot bed of lies, deceit and made up competitions. We can't say that we are that surprised... every job is full of this stuff. It's not like the newspapers currently kicking TV whilst it is down are all that innocent.
We'd like you to even things out a bit. Spill the beans on your own trade. Tell us the dirty secrets that the public need to know.

Lots of years ago I used to be an operator for a large company that is British and does lots of telecoms stuff.If you were a nuisance caller or had upset one of the girls with abuse you'd get yours. Many people would be repeats offenders and be rather evil and obnoxious. With lists of people, family members with phone numbers noted, you could have a lot of fun with phone system.
CLI, Caller Identity can be changed. Some folk would call up one nuisance caller with another nuisance caller's number and visa versa (Like a conference call which they were not expecting) They'd both accuse the other of calling them and have fight. They'd be displaying each others number :)
More fun was had with overriding the line when a person was on a call and making ghost noises. They call us up and say the line was faulty or haunted. We'd connect them to an engineer, not another operator of course, the problem would go away.
If you leave the phone off the hook; an operator could override that and listen in. Typically people leave the phone off the hook whilst fucking. If a wife/husband is calling up to find out why the line is engaged, at a push of a button you could let them listen too. Or change the CLI of a nuisance caller whose fucking, call their wife/husband and let them listen to their partner having fun.
There is a lot more.
