Sorry, I have NO idea why your network went down!

So I'm sitting in the server room doing some server maintenance when the door to the room opens with a bang.

"Hey! Watch Me make the phone ring!" my less than stable co-worker yells. He walks to the wiring patch panel and quickly disconnects and connects a line and then storms off to the break room.

Sure enough, the phone rings. It's the rather difficult-to-get-along with person my co-worker was just helping.

User: My network connection just died! And [co-workers name] was just here.

Me: Really? I'll do a line trace, did you hear him tell you to reboot? Sometimes that will happen after applying patchs and you don't reboot.

User: Uhhhh, no I didn't hear him say that.

Me: Well I'll tell [co-workers name] to be more careful in the future.

User: Well, it's up now so no big deal

Me: Ok, have a good day!

One day, he will need to stop that...
