Prank 'Give me a raise!' email nearly lands sysadmin with dismissal

Previous place the common thing for unlocked and unattended IT machines was to send an email to the IT Manager professing Undying Love (male or Female - didn't care) and then the IT Manager would reply with the usual "that's nice but no thanks", we would have a laugh and Prat with elevated privileges would maybe learn a valuable lesson - Not.

Of course, then the Manager inevitably left his machine on and someone decided to send the message to the CEO instead who didn't have a sense of humour.

Cue uncomfortable conversation with the CEO about the IT security policy.
