One of the guys in the office
sent his mate a netsend message through DOS. The recipient's eyes light up when he receives a pop-up box with his friend's Z number, a funny message and an OK box.

He has a quick lookup on google on how to reply with a netsend, then proceeds to send the message "That's fucking awesome that is!" back to his friend.

Except he forgot to put his friend's Z number in and ends up sending it to every single PC on the network. Which ranged in a couple of thousand desktops, including top-end business directors, all looking at a message from Z****** saying "That's fucking awesome that is!".

A slight bollocking followed.

Mate of mine at college
once sent an "!" to everyone on the college email system, including the principle. He got band from the pc's. Which I think was a bit harsh cos he did it by accident.

Likewise
Although it was more something like "Hey there." I'm glad I suppressed my urge to put something vulgar in there.

Err
At work I once sent an invitation to join a Lotus Notes chat with the message "who wants to leave early for a crafty pint?"

Buggering cuntfucking piece of shit - I only meant to send it to three mates but by accidentally deselecting them before hitting 'invite' the stupid app defaulted to selecting every person logged on to their computer at my employer (large UK professional services firm).

Cue a chat window opening and hundreds of random people joining this online meeting. Quite a few immediately left but a good number began chatting amongst themselves about where to go and why on earth they'd been invited when they had no idea who I was.

No serious repercussions though, which I though was odd seeing as I'd invited my boss to bunk off work with him.

That painted a lovely picture
of an entire company muttering "blow this for a game of soldiers" & discussing something far more important, like pubs...

Lotus notes
I fuckin' hate it. Slow and shyte. Nothing seems to be where I think it should, work how I think it should, or, indeed, be as easy as I think it should.

Bunch of cock.

Rant over.

Ahhh. :D
