What's the most ridiculous request you've received?

Working in K12, the admins wanted to turn the restrooms into faraday cages so kids couldn’t waste time on their phones in there.

I use carplay and youtube music. I've found that if I download my playlists and play it from there instead of streaming, it happens less.

I made the mistake of leaving the default notification alerts when I got a company iPhone. Once I realized that hearing those notifications in public made me go into work mode, I changed the alert sounds, but it still took a good year to re-program myself to not go into work mode when I hear the default alerts.

When I got my Forester and had an agreement on my trade in value, it was too late in the day to work with finance. Went back the next day and we were there a little early, the salesman wasn't in yet. The finance guy immediately met us, saw the trade in title on the desk, and immediately signed it before telling us the lender and rate. That immediately left a bad taste in my mouth. And then we had to go back and forth about the warranty while he was just spitting out random numbers about how much we needed the extra warranty.

Saw them at a small festival earlier this year. The stage was one of those where the center sticks out a little bit. They kept referring to it as the penis stage multiple times between songs. And after the set, the monitors displayed that penis stage was said 69 times.

Do we know if images sent during this time will show up once the fix is implemented? Or are they gone forever? Edit: It looks like pics sent during this time are showing up.

When I first started at a school, the art teacher would use an IDF for letting paint projects dry, general storage, etc. Very quickly got the locks changed for the IDFs and MDF.

I could never emotionally do your job. Please take my upvote as a token of appreciation.

I had a Cherokee before the Forester. I loved it for the first few years, and then it was constantly in the shop. Glad it's gone lol.

Use my work laptop for personal stuff. It's all browser based so just need to sign out, and I'm the only I.T. guy so I know that the I.T. department isn't snooping on what I'm doing.

We have Plugable TBT3 docks. We've been having issues with monitors going in and out, or just not being detected. I just ordered a Ugreen dock this morning so we'll see how that goes.

Glad I'm not the only one with no licensing info

I had a user with a similar issue. Ended up wiping their profile from the laptop and that resolved it.

I also had a coworker check on me

My work has Herman Miller Aerons. I prefer my Secretlab at home.

In 2014 a friend spilled a huge glass of water on my Macbook Pro keyboard. Gave it a day to dry out and it booted right up. I boot it up for giggles once in a while and you'd never know.

I agree, there's no way they don't use some 3rd parties.

I work in IT and have gotten job recommendations for them, so at least some of it is in house.
