techrecoveryOk, I thought I had nothing for today's theme, but I just remembered one from like 5 years ago.
(And I love the theme day thing, we should do this on fridays or something.)
Working at a large company, ~50,000 employees worldwide, my team supported one of the larger divisions, so like 12k end users, we took the calls and fixed 'em, if we needed hands-on we'd send it to the deskside team, but if it was software they'd always send it right back. We did a lot of netmeeting into machines to poke around, fix things, show people where the start button was, etc.
Co-worker of mine gets a call from some guy, unable to view videos on his machine. This is a fairly normal call, we have a lot of corporate training videos, and due to the nature of our division there were a lot of valid reasons for media on the desktop.
Co-worker fires up a netmeeting to take a look, tweaks a few settings in Media player, and hits play. Sure 'nuf, some nice hardcore porn. End-user quickly says "Great, thanks! I've got it from here!" and hangs up.
Needless to say he didn't last the day, corporate policy. ^_^
(I just love the ballsiness of calling the helpdesk because you can't view your porn, and not even bothering to hide it.)
