Ok, but I may get nailed for this as I have kept it a secret.
I was a network administrator at a goverment agency before Windows. So we had login scripts (batch files or series of executions).
We had a program that acted like a virus. It would make the letters on your computer start to fall off like they were dripping into the bottom of your screen.
I placed it into the login script of one of the SA (Systems Analyst, just junior to the big boss), and of course it did its work! Took her awhile to figure out what was happening. And 2 of us Admins (there were 3 of us). So Me and the other Admin were looking and finally figured it out. He immediately deleted the program to fix her problem, and immediately blamed the 3rd admin!
He ran upstairs to confront this guy for 'childish' pranks. After he left, I said "let's look at who the owner of the file is". Unbeknownst to all, I had made him the owner. Even tho he deleted the file, we were able to recover it, and see he was the owner! So she got POed at him! For not only tricking her, but then trying to blame it on another!
it gets better. meanwhile, he is upstairs nailing the 3rd admin! So she is now sure the 2nd admin is guilty, the second admin is sure the 3rd admin is guilty, and the 3rd admin is clueless!
Not for long as he (3rd Admin) figured out since I was the only one not blamed, I had to be the one! But as he was my best friend, he got a great laugh out of it, as did I! (trying to hide the chuckles as all the finger pointing went on!).
Until today, only The 3rd Admin knew! But now you have to guess where and when! BTW. The SA? She is now director of the IT (information technology) department. I dont work there any more, so even if you figure it out, she cant get me! But I still laugh about it!
