About a guy who messed up at work

This is a story I read from a guy who got himself fired!

Found it today well I was doing router research...

Hello !

I was locked out of facebook and youtube by an admin at work soI followed these instructions and then reached the part where it said to enter the username and password. So i tried “admin” as the username and “password” as the password and it didn't work, so looking on the back of the router i noticed a tiny hole and I remembered from experience with a games console I used to have that this could be a reset button so I pushed a paperclip in and held it there for 10 seconds. The lights flashed and suddenly I could get into the admin section. I gave it a new password and then was happily surfing the web and was just about to take a work break for 15 minutes when a few of the IT guys came bounding in and started looking at the router.

They knew someone had been at it and s about 200 computers in the office upstairs could no longer connect. The boss asked me if I had done it and I just said no but he didn't believe me and then one of the IT workers pointed out that it could only have been one of three people so suspicion fell on me a second time. I managed to get revenge though as later I went into the server room and randomly rewired all the servers, routers and telephone systems.
