I was upset when the fire alarm went off last night because then I had to find pants.

[briancurtin]

I was upset when the fire alarm went off last night because then I had to find pants.
i was involved in a scheme to purposely put popcorn in the dorm microwave for 14 minutes at 4 AM my freshman year. it was pouring out, so we made it so it would set the fire alarms off and everyone would have to go outside and then get soaked in the rain while wearing shorts and a t-shirt, since no one would check to see if its raining before going out for a fire alarm.

it was revenge on the whole dorm, since there were like 5 fire alarms in the previous week and a half. also, all of us that were involved were fully dressed for the rain and had umbrellas -- completely giving it away (which we didnt think of) but no one had a clue

This was a false alarm in a dorm by a kid from another dorm. It went off at 3AM, and it was pouring out (it hasn't stopped raining for a week here! Agh!), and everybody came pouring out of the building and went to other dorms. Then, the fire department wouldn't shut the alarm off because they were pissed that it was a false alarm, so we had to wait for the alarm system company to come from a state away (no joke), and it sucked. I wasn't even in that building, but I was the RA on duty...so...duty called...I was just getting ready for bed, too...damned freshmen...

[Iandefor]

Couple years back, I was at a family reunion. One of my relatives had some of the cutest l'il kids.
Well, one of my uncles was staying at the same hotel as the aforementioned relative's family (Call the relative Virgil and call the main child in this story Anders. The uncle can be called Tom).
Well, Tom was getting ready to make microwave popcorn when Anders bursts in to see what Uncle Tom was doing.

"Well, I'm making popcorn."
"Can I help?" Said little Anders
"Okay! Put the popcorn in the microwave, and set it for four minutes.

So, of course Anders puts it in the microwave, and sets it for 6:66. The popcorn caught on fire and the microwave was pretty much ruined.

It's not so much a confession as an amusing story.

[YourSurrogateGod]

I tried to kill someone... with a plastic spoon.

[openmind]

I had all the cards and gifts hidden for Mother's Day, but when we got up that morning, I forgot about it for a couple of hours till someone on the radio said something.

It was an "Oh Sh*t" moment!

[graabein]

I don't buy into that mother's day (*insert market created holiday*) thing at all but I guess luckily I got my girlfriend some flowers last Wedensday, before mother's day, and forgot to mention mother's day at all yesterday.

:D :-k :???:



Hmm does she have to be the mother of my children for her to "earn" mother's day?

I formated (instead of fixing) my original Ubuntu-install twice (first windows screwed mbr , second a dist-upgrade who gone wrong) .

Now that i finally i confessed this dirty secret i´m going to shot myself in the head , don´t try to help me to get some extra ammo.


I started the first KDE vs. Gnome flamewar.

Linus i just wanted to say you do a great job with the kernel , and that i´m suprised you hang out at Ubuntuforums:mrgreen:

[beercz]

Some time ago I once walked into Dixons (a UK electronics store selling computers) and whilst looking at one of their pcs running Windows 98 (it was a while ago), I broke into their screensaver (Dixon's one of course) and at the command (DOS) prompt I typed:

format c: /u <enter>, confirmed with Y (yes)

and walked out ...

That is all.
how did you wrap the wirelessness around his neck?

[beercz]

I work as an IT Director for a construction company. One day, one of my colleagues called saying he spilt a glass of water over his laptop, which of course was switched on.

After instructing him to turn it off and disconnect it from the mains, I went to have a look at it. When I picked it up water literally poured out of it, mainly out of the floppy disk drive (it was a few years ago). I said that I would take it back to my office and let it dry out and then I would see what I could do.

Took it back to my office and as it was a cold day, put it in front of a fan heater, under a desk, to accelerate the drying process. I intended to leave it there for about 15 to 20 minutes.

The phone rang, another problem to sort out, which was major. Having dealt with the problem, which took about 3 hours, I returned to my office, having completely forgotten about the soggy laptop.

When I opened my office door I was hit with a pungent smell of melting plastic. It was then I also had one of those "Oh Sh*t!!' moments.

Sure enough, the latop was melting (but at least it wasn't full of water any more).

I called the colleague and told him that spilling the water on the laptop completely fried it, and I said that we would try and recover data from the hard disk by sticking it in another (older) laptop I had lying around (which I did - successfully).

Before descretely disposing of the laptop I managed to take a few pictures.

To this day, my colleague concerned has no idea that I melted his laptop.

See picture for evidence!

[briancurtin]

hhahah god damn

[fuscia]

that melted laptop looks like a claes oldenburg.

[bonzodog]

When I first started in linux I was an actual hacker - I broke into the Dixons head office server BY MISTAKE!!
This was in 96, mind you, and the net wasn't a very secure place. it often involoved no more than finding an IP address and telnetting to it to get a login prompt. I tried root, got that, and we guessed what the password might be...

I have also passed the dixons staff 'tech' course as I was bored one day and I knew the manager at the local store, and I told him I thought I could pass it in one go, which I did in less than 15 minutes.

Another confession: I moved house JUST to get broadband, and now make it a standard part of searching for any new property. I have also sacrificed 3 kids, and 2 wives for my computer, deciding that the computer was more important.

[lapsey]

i don't live in my mother's basement

Adderley Street is the main Street in Cape Town and there are a row of taxi's parked in the middle.
About 5 years ago I saw a Taxi do a U turn - right into the side of a Rolls Royce.
The driver got out of the Taxi, sat on the bonnet (hood) and cried.
Right about then my lift came and I was whisked away.
To this day I wondered what happened next.

[KingBahamut]

Back a few years, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A 40 not even thinking of installing a Linux distro on it. It was simply the cheapest computer around at that time and that was my only motivation in buying it.

When I read about the number of folks here having HW pbms and more; even people who took great care to check for Linux compatibility...well I feel very happy and ...I knock on wood every day!

[Orval]

Hey she looked good for a woman in her mid-40's!

[Kingsley]

Old topic :confused:.

Anyway, my confession is that I secretly have access to 7 or 8 other Facebook accounts that aren't my own. The same goes for a couple of Yahoo and Hotmail accounts. It's not like I'm stalking or anything. I just like to have access to a wider variety of networks. :)

Very old thread. Necromancy?

I shared a two bedroom apartment with three women when I was at University.

You figure it out.

:lolflag:

[Barrucadu]

I shared a two bedroom apartment with three women when I was at University.

You figure it out.

The alpha female got a bed for herself, the other two shared, and you got the floor/sofa/chair. Right? :P

[Old_Grey_Wolf]

The alpha female got a bed for herself, the other two shared, and you got the floor/sofa/chair. Right? :P

No. Try again.

[Dobbie03]

The three girls shared one room and you had one all to yourself?

I moved the post that reopened this thread to the proper place, no need for this thread to be open any longer. This thread is closed.
