Xmas humour failure
I once worked at an ISP and was covering the leased line helpdesk the day before xmas.
As a joke, I left a recorded message on the phone system asking why they were working so close to xmas and that they should probably be at home with their family. Alas, someone actually dialled in and got that message before getting through to us - they were not impressed.
This was back in the day when such things resulted in a telling off by your manager who was clearly trying not to laugh. These days you'd probably never work again.
