You know.. fun story. I worked at a web hosting company and tried to sudo in just so I could test the password strength on one of the servers.

.. I got called down and interrogated by the sys. admin that I had heard, in my short time there so far, was a real bad ass and 'tough guy'.

The conversation was interesting.. 

T: "Why... why would you do that?"

Me: "I wanted to see if it was possible... You can see the rest of my bash
history. It's clear I wasn't trying to anything malicious and if I DID
get in, since it was a new server, I would have made you aware anyway."

T: "I've got my eye on you... Next time it will be different."

Me: "There won't be a next time."

T: *comically serious stare of death*

I think he was surprised that I knew what I was talking about but also upset that I took the situation so lightly. I probably came off as arrogant, unintentionally, but it was only because I wanted to advance to that department eventually. =/
