    I used to make jokes to juniors/interns like the above. Then I watched a junior start typing my joke in terminal, and I freaked out and stopped.

    Sometimes I forget these jokes go over the heads of people.

      Same. I was working on a help desk years ago helping another agent with a call where the customer was being ignorant and I sent him a message that said something like “does he want us to wipe his ass for him too?” (Not that exactly but in the context of the situation it would have been similarly insulting). Next reply I get from the other agent was “he said no”.

      😬

      I mean… it’s the best way to learn by being stupid and doing mistakes, but truly some mistakes are too much damage and does not help to learn or if we talk about other jobs can kill somebody.
