I had a boss that absolutely freaked out when he saw that the printer was set to scroll “SELF DESTRUCT IN”, “3...”, “2...”, “1...”, “MAYBE NEXT TIME!” every few minutes. I had a cron job set up to run a Python script every minute with a 1:10 chance of displaying it.
He stood there watching it for probably an hour, before running to his office and making a panicked call to PC Services about how our network had been hacked.
I messaged a friend in that department and owned up to it. He later told me he logged an hour “solving” that problem and requested a copy of my script.
