This one is almost certainly apocryphal, but so what...

At Enormous State University, we had a 370/75 as an academic computing machine.
Jobs were submitted on card decks wrapped in rubber bands and placed into a
pigeon-hole box at the machine room window.  Output would appear later in a
bigger box.  The night operators were mostly students, and some of them were
quite hated.  The worst of the lot would sit in the operator's chair, prop
his feet on the console, and snooze out for the night.  Students with projects
due would scream and pound the reinforced glass to no avail.

Eventually someone sneaked in with an auto starter solenoid.  They mounted it
under the false floor, just under the operator's chair.  The end of the
solenoid rod was covered with a crutch tip, and the solenoid was wired to
a battery and to an output line of an unused channel.  The affair was activated
by a channel program contained in the DUMPOP macro.

When the operator went to sleep, you told someone with TSO privileges, who
ran a DUMPOP job.  The solenoid fired, the false floor tile lifted about
1/2" or so, and the operator's chair rolled toward the console, tipping under
the operator who ended up in a heap on the floor with no idea how it happened.
