In high-school I was part of the webteam. This gave us slightly elevated privileges meaning we could get away with a lot of simple windows NT/XP hacking. We had internet on the 'non-internet' machine much to the awe of everyone else, chatted with each other via netsend, played games (until the admin sent us a netsend telling us to stop).
Also, all pc's were numbered corresponding to their network name. You can reboot pc's via netsend. Much fun was had :) This went on until we could print on the machines of the principal + other higher-up stuff. We never dared doing that though.
...then I went to college and got an email from one of the sysadmins telling me I had a virus and that I should use [random windows antivirus]. I was using IRC on Ubuntu on a non-standard port. I got a really sour reply from the sysadmin upon telling him that.
