    Text - xAdakis 23h "Hacked" a school computer, left a note that had "hacked" it and what I could see. The next week, machine was no longer on the network. They had every single student's SSNS, links to ID photos in a public directory, and full contact details unprotected in an Microsoft Access Database How did I "hack" it?. . .l used Microsoft Remote Desktop to login to what I though was my assigned machine in another lab using the default student account. .. .it was not the machine I thought it

    Text - forkthislife S 22h scammed a friend's dad out of 350 bucks back in high school by making a Printshop brochure for some fake bible retreat so we could get him out of that abusive household for a week and go party it up at my family's property

    Text - RealGlobalPrOfficial 23h A train station I went through every day had of those shitty talking signs that admonishes anything that moves nearby not to take luggage on the escalator. Always the same message, and it plays this regardless of whether they have luggage or are approaching the escalator. Which happened approximately every 20 seconds. It annoyed me when I was just waiting for 15 minutes, and I can only assume it was worse for the workers in the food places right nearby. The worker

    Text - mousey293 1d In college, one of the RA's in my dorm created a seasonal/temporary bulletin board (physical board, not an internet thing) called a 'grievance board' (I believe the concept was humorous and based on something from Seinfeld, which may give you an idea of how long ago I went to college). The idea was that people would anonymously post their grievances about their fellow dorm-mates in a theoretically good- natured manner. The reality ended up being that while some of it was well

    Text - coloradoconvict 20h Worked as the IT guy for a think tank in DC. Had to support a multiuser CPM dinosaur (this was a long time ago, but not so long ago as to make that computer even vaguely appropriate to still have in service). Suggested PCs instead and was told we were going to use the dinosaur until it died. Waited a couple of weeks, then yanked the 10-mb Bernoulli floppy drives out in mid-boot, utterly destroying them. Reported the 'catastrophic failure irreparable'. Ordered new PCs f

    Text - bm117 . 1d I worked at Sears in the hardware department. This guy came in with some broken Craftsman tools to exchange them for new ones (via a limited lifetime warranty) One of his tools were out stock, so I let him take the "premium" equivalent of the tool. Then, I decided, "Fuck it," and I let him trade all of his old tools for new premium ones. I even let him trade in an expensive torque wrench, which is not under warranty. The guy walked out with probably $300-400 in tools. Was it th

    Text - hwell_w_t_f 21h I was working at a pizza place. I got an order for $75 worth of food. The customer walked in when it was about done. At first I thought she was mad because she wasn't responding to me. I asked her what was wrong. She broke down crying, her house had just burned down, she had nothing. Her and her 5 kids were living with her mom. I gave her a hug and talked to her for a bit. When she left I canceled her order and put the money back on her card. She realized what I did a few

    Text - chewytime 19h Basically pulled a Ferris Bueller to help my buddy's GF get out of school. We were college freshmen at the time and she was a HS senior and she really wanted to surprise her BF for his birthday at college since they were doing the long distance thing. SoI took the day off from classes and drove up to her school a couple hours away. She had already come up with a doctor's excuse, but I called the front office to "verify" it and they let her go. Don't know if they actually bel

    Text - Bendingtherules333 21h I secretly greased the squeeky door hinge to our office. A week went by and someone in a staff meeting said "has anyone noticed the door doesn't squeek anymore?" the meeting broke out with everyone freaking out. Some people knew something was different but couldn't place it. Relief was felt all around and no one has found out it was me.

    Text - Lostinthestarscape ld Was at a restaurant and they had a promotion where you got a coupon with purchase of combo meal that you could scratch or peel off for free food items (cheap things like drink or muffin). It was 3 in the morning and I was really drunk with a friend and we noticed they hand a stack of the coupons right beside the cash so pocketed them. We then spent the walk back to his house (6 or so blocks) slapping these things on people's windshields, mailboxes and such.

    Text - mfmartin1 S 17h My entire family forgot my moms 40th birthday. I was only 11 so I feel that I kind of had an excuse to forget because I was a kid, but I vowed I'd make it up to her on her 50th. Last year, I planned three months in advance. I ordered decorations, invited distant family members, rented the venue, called my moms boss and got her coworkers on board with the story, the whole 9 to make it the most special surprise birthday ever. I had to lie and tell her a month in advance that

    Text - nickeypants 23h A friend and I wrote a composition together for a highschool music class that was supposed to be an individual work. Her teacher gave her an A and mine gave me a C for the identical piece. I brought up the discrepancy with my teacher (mostly to point out that he was a douche canoe). His response was to correctly point out that what we did was plagiarism and failed us both for the assignment. I approached him later and "confessed" that she wrote the composition and I copied

    Text - Kirdei 17h I went to the gym (Planet Fitness) and this group of three people was ahead of me. Apparently two of them were visiting the third person and they decided to go to the gym together. If you have the premium member ship you're allowed to bring one guest in and the employee was apologizing for not being able to let all three in. They turned to leave and so I spoke up and said I'd check the third person in. The employee looked stunned at me and said she didn't think that was how it

    Text - snowy11218 1d Not sure if chaotic enough but last week I was going to a bulk food store for discount candy after work so I printed out a coupon ($3 off a $10+ purchase), then printed out 4 more copies for other people. Then I gave them to people in the store with large purchases. Cue confusion and excitement. My total ended up being less than $10, so I gave my own coupon to the dude behind me.

    Text - dan1d1 1d We had been in a lecture for about 3 hours. Everybody clearly wanted a break, but the lecturer wouldn't let us have one and was pushing on. I downloaded a remote app for my phone and used it to turn the screen off, the lecturer turned it back on and l turned it off again. We all got a 10 minute break while he spoke to the IT department to see what was going on.

    Text - Newhomeworld 1d I was in charge of the kidswear department at work once. I was the longest running member of staff there and we had no managers for that department. I was in charge of doing the rota for the day as I knew how it worked and what was needed. Two of my coworkers flirted relentlessly when they were both in the same day, and it just so happened to be a quiet day, so I put them both to be on lunch break together and for me to just be around in one of the not so busy departments.

    Text - whoops519 21h My male friend was really into my female best friend, but she thought he was kind of nerdy or just otherwise unnoticeable. I kept dropping subtle hints that I found him attractive, eventually (perhaps unconsciously) getting her to agree. I then convinced her to ask him to the winter dance. They dated for three years and lost their virginities to each other before going separate ways in college.

    Text - cluulu 20h I was waiting at a restaurant register to pay for a sandwich (sandwich was in hand). I was super hungry, just wanted to get rung up so I could stuff my face. The place was busy, and once five minutes passed and I was still waiting I decided to just leave without paying. I walked for about a minute and crossed paths with a homeless guy who was panhandling. I heard "I'm hungry, just need some money for food" and figured he needed my stolen sandwich more than I did, so l gave it t

    Text - SolaVirtusNobilitat 18h Back in High School we were begging our teacher to let us out early seeing as it was the last period before winter break. He was a new teacher so after some whining he goes down the hall to his supervisor to ask if it would be alright. While he's gone I stick my head out the door then turn back to tell the class he says its okay. Obviously that was all the class needed to hear and we were all leaving the building by the time our teacher realized wtf was going on. N

    Text - Linusthewise 17h I had a terrible roommate. He was messy as hell and I finally had enough and moved out. I tried to sublet my place out. Two people refused because of my roommate and his mes Donated my room to the homeless shelter and wrote it off on my taxes for the remaining four months of the lease. My former roommate was not pleased. His new roommates didn't complain.

    Text - jayrambling 1d I had neighbors for about a year that mistreated their dogs. We live in the south and it wasn't uncommon for them to leave them outside all day long while they were at work chained up and without any water. During the summer they did it almost every day so I stole their dogs and gave them to my friends dad because he had a lot of property and treated his dogs like royalty.

    Text - Bandilazino 23h As an employee of a financial institution with a pretty bad rep: state and federal laws unbreakable, company guidelines = flexible. I have thankfully been able to work with people a lot when it comes to things like payment extensions/rescheduling and such so long as there's no added interest/fees and things like that to break compliance. Can't outright tell people what to ask for in these cases, but plenty of instances of "So what you're saying is..." or "So it would help

    Text - DetachablePriebus 23h I don't feel great about keeping paper money that other people lose on the ground, so if I find a bill in a busy public area where there's little chance of getting it back to the owner, I usually fold it up neatly and hide it in a weird spot for attentive people to discover.
