Some funny experiences in the IT industry

My project lead in Cognizant, is leading a team of 6 people working on Unix.
He shouts out one day 'Vishnu, what's the way to get to the previous command in Unix ?'
Vishnu (fresher with 4 months experience) 'Up arrow'
Project lead types in his console 'Opera'.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
My project manager (Bengali fellow) in Cognizant, is going to Kolkata.
People are asking him to get sweets. He says in heabhy Bengoly akshent 'Ya ya Bengoly tits are bhery delicious'. After a sudden silence around him he goes 'I mean Bengali sweets are bhery delicious'.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In iflex. One guy (4 years exp) is resigning from the company. He, like many of us thinks that the company will collapse without him. He goes and announces his resignation to his manager. He thinks he has dropped a bombshell. He comes back to his seat, opens the internal messenger and wants to tell his friend of his heroic deed. He types in the messenger 'Boss, Mamu had his balls in his mouth'. Mamu is what we used to call our project manager. After pressing return, he realises he has accidentally sent the message to Mamu himself. No prizes for guessing whose balls were in whose mouth.

More incidents will follow.
