We used Back Orifice on a co-worker’s machine in a call center I worked at. While he was working we would open and close his CD-ROM drive randomly. Restart his machine. All the while we’re four seats down just cackling and he’s turning redder and redder as his machine does all these weird things while he’s trying to work.

Every student could log into all the machines.... and access the webcam remotely. Lots of messages to people telling them things like to stop picking their nose when they were sitting somewhere they thought nobody could see them. People learned to use the privacy shields on the cams very quickly.

- phkahler 5y agoI worked a call center over xmas season one year. During training they had us call each other and place fake orders for practice. I got call from the "hot chick" in the group, took down her info and asked if could call the number later. She responded in the positive. I never followed up 'cause I already had a GF. But hey, pranking people is fun too!
