"Okay, that's just about the end of your training, any quest-OH, Don't forget, you can never ever turn off the light in the storage closet! It is cursed and the company cannot function while the switch is off. Yes I know there's no lightbulb. No we do not know why. If we knew why it wouldn't be that way."

  Once I worked at a company in a "historic building": In some of the rooms, the wallplugs were connected to the switch for the ceiling lightbulb and you had to draw/rotate the switch into the correct direction, to have energy on the wallplugs. People always complained that something must be broken in these rooms,since they do not have alectricity the whole day on all the wallplugs :-D :-D

  I worked at a place once with an old Win 2k server sitting in the corner of the server room. It had once been a workgroup/domain controller but was long retired from that job. As far as we could tell, nothing was talking to the box anymore and the box wasn’t hosting anything anymore. But for some reason if we shut it down, the network would have random failures to communicate between various devices. It was never especially high priority solve, so we just all knew that we couldn’t turn off that box. Never did find out what was misconfigured before I left.
