I feel like you haven't heard of BOFH.
Bastard Operator From Hell -- A famous IT trope. Which was typically a sysad for a mainframe/Mini-Computer... Usually on a University Campus....
Think Lazlo from Wierd Science, but an asshole.
I actually worked with a BOFH. (Sadly he had a heart attack on the CalTrain Station in Mountain View, and died.)
He was the AS/400 admin for a place where we manufactured all of SUNs Software (meaning made the SUNos CDs manuals packaging etc) and this guy was a BOFH
Sales folk would call up to the helpdesk and request a password reset.
This one time, he set the users password to "STUPID!" ...
I fired him for that.
He had a heart attack shortly thereafter....
:-(
