Got an internal form sheet returned because it wasn't the latest version.
Difference between latest and the one I used:
None in content / substance, but the fields to fill in were in different order |O :palm: :scared:
Now accounting 4 billable hours onto the project just because this pissed me off.

*shrugs*
Having to use the latest version of documents makes a lot of sense. And letting someone of because, in your case, it doesn't really matter sends out a bad signal. With my kids I sometimes also stick to certain rules even if at that time they are less applicable. Because, if not, mayhem and chaos soon enter.

Maybe not an RPG, slight overkill, but it sounds like a box of stink bombs in the air-conditioning inlet is definitely justified. Or, a banana up the tail pipe? Haddock in the drawer? Chilli on the coffee cups? There are many ways to exact office revenge which should be explored before 'going postal'.

Sounds like you are due for being dragged and taken away to a dark place for 'training'.

May be they are scanning it in and OCR it? If so, the position of the fields may be important.
(Why don't they use web forms?)

Haha, make a big enough stink and the whole division may get assigned corporate training, and you'll be the bad guy.

Such OCR system should also scan for version/type field at a know location and adjust accordingly. If that's the one that got changed tho...

RPG, yes, but what model? Oh the choices one faces when going postal is more than a vague temptation...

The frag option seems the most obvious for internal correspondence.
But if their email was in ComicSans, then thermobaric is the way to go.
Howether, I must remind you of the back blast, and that taking out QA might also knock out accounts behind you, and that’s where the morning doughnuts are.
Lastly, removing the ink pads from their “stamps of power” might be a cheaper, more satisfying option that will not land you in a box with manslaughter charges.

You know, next you ask permission to access the lab, I think I'm going to say "no". :-\

They’re probably right on this one. However they aren’t always.
The best retaliation to QA when they block something fit for purpose is finding something they missed and then sending it to the entire QA mail alias. I had one a week ago where they closed a ticket I raised as fixed and clearly didn’t even test it so tore them a new one. Joys of being a contractor and outrank them at the same time. I don’t have to get on with them :)
The only reliable QA is fully automated and reproducible QA so its pretty easy finding holes.

1) Buy a big bag of Sugar Free haribo gummy bears from eBay
2) Place a large quantity in bowl
3) Place bowl in targeted work area
4) Remove all but 1 roll of toilet paper from each bathroom stall
5) Wait an hour or so
(for reference, check our LA Beasts video on the sugar free haribo bears)

I’m liking that idea :-DD

usually no need with the sugar free ones. Hence the evilness of my plan.

I see the evilness of your plan i just wanted to add laxative as to give the plan a more immediately and desperately chaotic character.. :)

Smoke alarm with a OLD battery, stick it to the back of a filing cabinet or under a desk or such, the beeping will drive 'em wild and the thing will be a bugger to find.

extra evil. love it!

Put fish, broccoli, and brussel sprouts in the coffee machine, run it for awhile, then remove it.
Next time they go to use it...
:scared: >:D

All these ideas are amature hour. If you want to wreck havok and herold a new reign of terror then convince one of their managers that they should use time sheets.
Be careful this is basically biological warfare and it may spread to your department.

1. Render their PCs unusable somehow (nick all power cords or something)
2. hide a typewriter somewhere in a large drawer they frequent (like a file cabinet), label it "macrohard office"
3. place a stack of dusty paper on their desks with a sticky that says "find the solution" (maybe a clue hunt to the typewriter)
4. watch a typewriter get thrown out a window >:D

Ouch, that is low, I like it!
Requiring them to 10 minute granularity (and making sure there is no task code for silly administrivia) would just make it cruel and unusual.
Creating a whole pile of official looking forms with names like "weekly accounting process compliance status audit report (To be completed weekly)", dumping them on a shared drive and then letting the ISO 9000 auditor find them is fun as well, actually calling them TPS reports would be funny but would probably give the game away.
A variant is to make sure a new departmental manager in the victim department finds them. When writing these, channel your inner CEO and let the pointless corporate drivel flow.

Laxative gets you caught. Nobody can complain about someone handing out free candy. Candy everyone can eat lots of, because it's sugar free. How thoughtful.

I'm guessing these are sweetened with sorbital? Sorbital is used in many brands of sugar-free chewing gum. I once went through a pack and a half of gum in one morning. I had to google what went wrong with me that afternoon. I found out a major use for sorbital is laxative. :palm:

Those gummy bears are sweetened with Lycasin (sugar alcohols) And I can tell you, from personal experience, that the amazon reviews are 100% correct. :-DD They may even understate the "rewards" of eating Lycasin. In my case I bought some sugar free chocolate while on a road trip across the American southwest desert. I was literally squatting by the side of the road, because there were NO restrooms for 50+ miles. I can totally laugh about it now, but it wasn't so funny at the time.
As for what to give overly anal QA people, this is perfect!

Mr g.lewarne whole plan i guessed was based on that the bowl of gummy bears had a sticker on it saying;
From management for the company's achievement of latest mega sale.
Did you miss that? Sometimes called "fast inverted false flag operation". Sorbitol have a side effect it takes some hours before things start to take place and some of the managment might have gone home by then or taking a surprise dump in the front seat of thier posh BMW or perhaps in their learjet at 10 000m which would be kinda entertaining!
