Feature-66. Page the entire office...
A few years back the company I worked for was expanding faster than our office space permitted. Because of this all the sales team set up shop in a building about 300 yards down the road.

It had its own telephone system which was different to the one the sales team were used to but for the sake of internal communications it was linked through some ISDN system into our main switchboard.

Unfortunately for one of the sales guys he didn't appreciate that all the 'Feature codes' for the new system were subtly different to those in the old building...

Minding my own business one day having a nice cup of coffee at my desk I heard the 'bee-bee-beep' noise of the internal page system shortly followed by the sound of fumbling and background noise.

"Phwoarrr. Bloody Hell. Look at the knockers on her." A familiar voice was heard over the office page system. "I wouldn't mind giving her one... but she's a bit tall for me."

After metaphorically spitting my coffee all over my screen I managed to gather my composure enough to quickly dial the extension of one of his colleagues and the only thing I could blurt out was "[name withheld] is currently paging the entire building with his sexual fantasies. Hit him with a plank or something."

Shortly after that there was a muted "Oh Sh1t." as the paging system went silent.

Turns out he'd tried transfer the person to another line but the code he used was the equivalent of our Voice Tannoy code. Whilst he was waiting for the person he was transferring to to pick up he decided to talk to his colleague about some cutie who was walking past... Unfortuantely this went to the entire company. Senior Directors included.

I don't think any of us could get any work done for the rest of the day because we were laughing so much.
