I was reading about the social networking piechart on Toms just now, and it reminded me of an Epic brown-nosing fail by a Shiftleader at work,
so I thought I'd share the story
I work for a multi-national comany, thousands of pc's and like most places, we have an IT policy and network restrictions, no 'proper' internet for us on work pc's
One of my shift had recently discovered the Joys of Failbook as a potential source of dates and spent every spare second on his mobile checking his profile, even called in sick a couple of times, another mate caught him out, sat on failbook all night, too sick to work huh?
So anyhows, I took a screenshot of the failbook login screen, username 'Isuck@life.co.uk' posted it as my wallpaper and waited for the fish to nibble,
Sure enough night or two later we find 'Pete' hovering round the pc, 'Hmm, whats this? I'll juuuuust, oh damn,cant click wtf?'
turns round to see us all wetting ourselves with laughter, Prank successful,job done
but then,
like some foul frankensteins monster my Failbook wallpaper took on a life of its own,
a few weeks later, it was all but forgotten when I get this 'invitation' from the building manager to a disciplinary hearing'
turns out I'm to explain my behaviour, using company time to be on facebook, flouting the IT policy, and somehow 'hacking' the network to allow me 'proper' net access when its disallowed (Obviously I'm better at this pc thing than their IT guys hehe)
so I go to this Meeting with union rep, he knows the score and played along
I'm in there with a top gaffer, the snitchy shiftleader off days shift, some I.T. Boss and my union guy, I get asked to log on and show how I have net access (Think the IT boss was curious as to how I'd 'hacked' the system)
So I log into the xp screen and up pops the wallpaper, I saw the IT guy start to crease right then
The shiftleader was all 'look! See, I was right, he's on facebook' ( real Hand of Doom stuff, sack him, burn the hacker!!!)
I asked him to click the 'login' button and take a look at 'my profile'
I swear to any Gods you care to name, at 3am in the morning I saw the sun rise over his face and heard the thunk of his chin hitting the floor as he realised and the IT Boss quietly chipped in, ' Its his wallpaper........'
Disciplinary hearing, over.
So, as you do, I left it as my paper for a while and caught out another 8 or 9 chumps,
It went way over what it was intended to do,but I'll grab it on my flashdrive tonight and post it on here,
So whats your best wallpaper, and hows it gotten you into grief??

I once had a girlfriend (shocking - I know) who had a Rottweiler that had quite a fancy to my shoe laces. Every date at her place would require buying new laces.
While on life stories - my flight to Abu Dhabi two months ago was quite eventful. I've never used the toilet on a plane. Needless to say, after 4 Budweisers I had to take a leak. I promptly went to the loo, did my thing and then pressed the flush button. What happened next nearly drove me insane. I never knew that the pressure difference between inside and outside the plane was used to create suction. The next thing I heard was what I thought the end of life for me; as the suction noise I clearly understood as coming from outside.
I thought I was going to be sucked out of the toilet into the sky, 35 000 feet up and freeze my bollocks off which would then be the cause of my end: beer and peeing.
