What'd I do?
BOFH!

Yes. I quite enjoy them. I even have my own PFY.

Saw a vanity plate a few years back that read "BOFH 13" - my first thought was, "Damn - beat me to it."
Google for "Just PFY" as well, see what comes up.
I considered myself a BBEFH, I co-operated extensively with the BOFH when I was in a position to, and it came in handy (I had the only phone extension where I could delete voicemails in bulk without having to listen to them - listening to 300+ messages a day from serial whiners gets old - had a DND that could not be overridden, and a CID that plain did not function.
(When I left that job, the guy replacing me thought he was going to get all of those little features. I called on my way out of the building and told BOFH to strip the phone back to a regular extension.
Oh -and Simon (BOFH) and I have chatted before - probably got some of his BBEFH ideas from me... I don't want credit - I just found it amusing. I considered it payback, because reading BOFH got me through more days than I should really admit to...
(As I once told him, when we were discussing photography: "Yes, I have a K1000. Yes, it's old and has a metal body. No, you can't have it, I still use it.")
This is all music to my ears... Simon would love to hear about one of my coworker's favorite devices. It's called a "user alignment tool", basically smacking said user upside the head with a clue-by-4 (sometimes it takes a few whacks until said user sees the light). I like the older ones better, with the "clickety click" and gullible users who volunteer their accounts; not to mention "solar flares" ; I would love to get my hands on Simon's excuse book!

Some of my favorite personal BOFH moments:
Taking away the driver for the mouse on a thin client update so we could install software without the lusers clicking "update later" as was their common practice.
Finding a luser's string of horrible home made pornographic pictures with his very unattractive wife and then using MS Paint to put bathing suits on the images.
Telling a luser to stick the screwdriver between the two terminals of a cell in a UPS I was convinced was dead. It wasn't.
Getting my boss to buy, then classify a K-Cup machine as business property for taxes.
Sending an email exactly as my boss had worded it to another user who directly cut and pasted it into a presentation for 400 people. Bad grammar, spelling mistake and all.
