    Not really burning a bridge, but I've always wanted to bring in a 30 pack and see how deep I could get before being escorted out

      That just sounds like good old fashioned fun.

I even had weight, can't remember what it is now, but it was in the range of ~200,000lbs of items.

        He threatened me, so I sent some random stuff to him via next day air - his location was less than 10 min from me (next day air packages go from dfw to Memphis, back to dfw for delivery). Being a numbers guy, he freaked out, especially since I had sent several packages of the same part number. It was just saber rattling on my part, but he realized I was seriously pissed off, and he lost his shit when I told him I missed the shipment of the rest due to capacity of the truck picking up. Had I shipped everything, it would have been hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of shipping charges.
        I'd beat your hairy red ass so bad if I were him, but I'm not so it's hilarious.

            I've heard of network admins (IT) setting up all their routers and L3 devices to need to 'check in' everyday. Come some day when said admin doesn't work there any more, every device shit cans and has to be reconfigured entirely. They basically wipe their configs.

            If you are said admin, you might have all the configs hidden somewhere, not exactly backed up properly. Heck you might be the only guy there that really knows how to configure them.

            I've even heard of net admins blackmailing companies that intended to fire them.

            I'm not saying I would do it. However it would be easy, and they kind of would get what they deserve.
            Personally I don't give a rats ass about IT management most places. IT is one of the worst , and mismanaged occupations I believe you can have.
            Pretty funny though, company would be crippled for X # of days to restore. There is no doubt a huge amount of setup required to make this happen.
            I would feel worse for the company this happens to but I've been that IT guy randomly laid off before for poorly planned cuts. If they would stop thinking with their head up their ass , that would never happen!

              I did this a few years ago, and at times regret going out like this for what resulted from it.

              Long story short, I worked on a management team of 5. 3 of the 5 managers were lazy and did the bare minimum to keep their job. Our manager was afraid to hold them accountable because they were minorities. Eventually when our vp started putting heat on our boss, he in turn tried to pin it on me because I was the only white male in the group.

              So then I started getting evidence/dirt on those 3 managers as well as my boss. When i was finished I prepared it very professionally, made copies of the pictures and other physical evidence and anonymously overnighter it to corporate LP and HR. At the same time I turned in my 2 week notice.

              48 hours later the Texas Rangers, police and internal LP and 5 people from our HR dept showed up at work. My boss, those 3 managers and 2 other employees as a result of my evidence were terminated.

                There was a time, before I had a family, that I would secure other employment, and just stop showing up to the old employer. I flat did not care. Some would call, some I guess didn't care either. Now with a family, that doesn't happen like that any longer. I have learned to jam them at meetings, pretty much in front of everyone with questions that can't be answered yet everyone knows the answer.

                Now I give notice, the last two even had me work to the end. This one I did Monday sounds like I will be let go thur. Not worrying though. It is spring break. All about my children.

                    Know someone who quit and had balloons made saying I quit. Filled like 50 of them with a mixture of flour for half and maple syrup for other half. Needless to say when his boss started popping them in his office......

                      In your case... start giving out wrong part numbers by the masses.

                            One of my old clients in 2006 was a steel erector that did work on Jerryworld. They fired one of their field guys and he came into the office "park" over the weekend (which was nothing more than 4-5 mobile homes) and just started taking down walls with a halligan bar. Shatters every window he can find.

                            He manages to take down the wall next to the server closet and then puts several shotgun blasts right into their SBS server.

                            They had a camera trailer out on their equipment field which caught a bare glimpse of his pickup truck leaving. if he had left by another gate they would've never caught him. Suspected maybe - but no proof.

                              When I worked at Academy I always thought it would be fun to go in the computer and 0 out the inventory count for everything either large or heavy, like BBQ pits, Jon Boats, Batteries, Deer Corn, Treadmills, Kayaks, gun safes etc. Then put in my two weeks so I would be leaving as the disaster of wtf to do with everything that was coming in on freight started.

                                Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

                                You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.
