While I was a graduate student at NC State, the university decided to roll out a new automated class registration system. One registered for classes using a touch-tone phone, using student number and a 4-digit PIN to log in. There were four of us sharing an office, and one of my fellow graduate students, Gee-Gwo Mei, left his PIN sitting out on his desk.
I knew exactly what to do: I signed him up for Elementary Swahili!
I waited until his printed schedule arrived and he was exclaiming to the rest of the office how the "stupid computer" signed him up for the wrong class. Then, I admitted my misdeed.
