MGL, I'm electing Fiery Gin as KING of my life! (I always LOL when I see those electjesuskingofyourlife bumper stickers. You don't elect kings, silly Xtian!)
When I was at Boston U, I worked in the Information Services group that handled all of the student-facing systems like the labs, the research nodes, and the mainframe. My "sister" (long story) Liza and I were working the help desk one day when a young lady walked in to ask about the printers. She got halfway through describing her issue to Liza when she caught view of my deskplate. Her eyes widened, then immediately narrowed to little slits as she started screaming at me: "WHY ARE YOU READING MY MAIL? WHAT ARE YOU DOING SENDING ME ALL THOSE MESSAGES ABOUT MY FRIENDS? I WANT TO SPEAK TO YOUR BOSS!"
I was dumbfounded. I explained that I didn't even know who she was, and I had no ability to read others' email. She kept pointing to my deskplate, shouting, "I KNOW IT WAS YOU! IT SAID SO IN MY EMAIL!" Finally, Liza realized what she was talking about, burst out laughing, and showed me my deskplate. When I wasn't looking, Liza had changed it from:
I forgot one... a guy I sorta knew in college had a name (let's just say it was Nathan S.) that anagrammed into Human Satan. It was pretty accurate, too.
