Naughty stuff on work time.

During lunchtime on my school laptop, I was searching for some threaded pipe connectors to build a back boiler for the stove in my barge. These are called "nipples".

As soon as I'd typed that into the search engine and pressed return, I realised what I'd done and shot down to the IT manager, trampling children underfoot, to explain!!

As someone who works in school IT, I can confirm all the wrong'uns use this one...

As someone who works in IT but not in a school, I can confirm that this situation will be the laughing stock for the next few days and might be brought up randomly.

Had a guy showing me a very small issue he was having via screen sharing a month or so ago - he said "yeah I wrote the thing down here", clicks on Notepad++ (which saves sessions) and I can see he has indeed saved the thing down in a new blank document... But he's also saved a link starting "lesbianpornvideos" or something. Instantly screenshotted it to send to the colleagues and we still laugh about it.

I absolutely called him up on that during the call and he just pretended he didn't hear me twice. :lol:

Copied from my own post in the 'secret works enemies' thread a while back.

When I worked for the NHS I had a raging hatred of one particularly arrogant 'manager' who was boastful of some 'research' that he had done on a certain subject.
A couple of months after his 'research' I noted that there was to be a Seminar about a very similar subject being arranged at a Hotel in London.
I set up an email address in the name of one of the organisers and contacted him to say that I was aware of his work and would be grateful of his attendance.
After corrosponding via several emails and building a rapport with the snivelling pratt, I invited him to do a short presentation on his research findings. I promised him that travel and other out of pocket expences would be paid.
He duly turned up at this event only to be greeted by people who had never heard of him and had no idea what the 'F' he was doing there.

No problemo, observing the universe that offered you some medicine for a fool and landed it in your lap just like that. Did he ever cotton on or raise the day out to the team he was overseeing?

He certainly never mentioned it directly to me, but another of his 'colleagues' couldn't wait to let others know about the unfortunate 'misunderstanding' :lol:

Worked in a City centre old man’s bar and some middle aged office guy would come in every so often and sit in the corner and watch porn on his laptop. Pretending he was doing important business. Spied his screen one time. He wasn’t cracking off or anything. There was a sauna round the corner so wondered if he was getting himself warmed up.

There was rumours going around my work a senior manager was either doing this or had a side piece because someone seen him going into a public toilet with some bird one day. The bloke was universally disliked so I reckon someone made it up to spite him.

I absolutely and unequivocally refute these allegations
