Practical jokes around workplace – part IV

Today everybody has a network connection in the office. And the majority of people are quite heavily dependent on their connections during the day. In other words if their connection is down they get quite frustrated quite fast.

My colleague was one of these people and he got very upset very fast. I always dreamt of situation were my network connection was working and his was not. So… One day when he had already left the office I took the cable from his docking station and gently cut the cable vertically with a razor and chopped the green wire. Be sure to cut the cable from a spot that is under the table or otherwise out of sight. Then I put just two drops of instant clue to the inside of the covering and gently closed the covering.

The next day he spent half a day cursing his connection and calling to the help-desk. One might automatically thought that the rational thing is to check the cable, but who would assume that the cable just breaks down by itself one day… Well I had quite an amusing morning listening his cursing and swearing the it-department… After a couple hours he finally checked the cable in enough detail to discover the cut =)

    Somebody played a $150 practical joke on me. Genuinely hoping they were just dumb, not clever. What if they applied my debit card? :l

    With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I’ve either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any solutions to help protect against content from being ripped off? I’d truly appreciate it.

      Yes I run into those issues sometimes.
      It is pretty impossible to completely avoid the content from being ripped off and still keeping it accessible.
      The truth is if it can be shown on the computer screen, it can be copied in way or another.

      Some on-line magazines seem to have used some JavaScript on their web page at either stops cut-and-paste from working or adds automatically a link back to the information source on the end of the cut text. The later option could maybe worth to try.

    I together with my guys have already been checking the great guidelines found on the blog and so quickly I had a horrible feeling I had not expressed respect to the site owner for them. Those women ended up so passionate to read through them and have in effect clearly been making the most of these things. Appreciation for getting considerably accommodating and also for getting some terrific resources most people are really needing to be informed on. Our own honest regret for not expressing gratitude to you sooner.

    A fun variation of the multiplayer knockout game genre that is well-liked by young people today is Stumble Guys. Stumble Guys, an action spin-off of the well-known game Fall Guys, with gameplay that is quite similar to that of the original while also featuring many intriguing upgrades.
