What common man thinks about Software companies?

This happened when I was having training in my first company in Pune. It was rainy season and two of my friends were coming to office. It started raining so they stopped at one of the shop so as to avoid getting wet in rain. There was a person and young guy standing there and discussing something. They saw my friends wearing IBM badge. As a curiosity that young guy asked the person, "What is this IBM?".
To that the old person replied like this, "IBM, it is Indian Bank Management!!!. It is a very good company, only here it is private otherwise it is a government company." My friends couldn't say anything and just kept quite.

Another time I was going to my office by auto. I work in ITC Infotech, a 100% subsidiary of ITC. And our ITC Infotech office is located at the place where there was ITC cigarrete factory. Now people don't know that it is now software office. So after coming near to my office, I told the auto driver that you can stop here. Now as he knew it is Cigarrete factory, he asked me, "Sir, Do you work in Cigarrete factory?". And they I had to tell him that, "Bhai, this is no more Cigarrete factory, this is IT company. Cigarrete factory is shifted to new location now.".

Few days back there was a CA in our company for filling out IT returns. He asked me, "I heard that employees get free cigarrete in your company. Is it like that?". I have to tell him that , "No sirji, not at all.".

Denmark Police

This happened when I was in Denmark. I have a friend there who is working in some Danish company. As he is also Marathi, there was kind of closeness among us, so I used to do leg pooling. In Denmark, if you get call from some number which is not already store in your mobile, you can't see the number, instead you get it like call from 'Unknown'.

Now one evening, when I was as home I was just thinking about what to do and got this idea, so I called my friend and this is our conversation..

Me - Hi, Is it Mr. XYZ?
Friend - Yes, who is this?
Me - I am calling from Norrebro(place where we used to stay) Police Station. Where are you now?
Friend - Actually I am travelling home from my office, Why? What happened?
Me - Okie... Can you come to my office tomorrow?
(In that time my friend was in full tension...He was not sure what happened? And that to something serious as Denmark Police calling him).
Friend - Yes, I can do that. But can you tell me what happened?
Me - Yes, I have a complaint against you. You just meet me tomorrow morning..
Friend - Yes, I will do that....

And then ... after guessing his state, I started laughing loudly. Then he realized... oh, this is me......and he also started laughing...
I don't think he will ever forget this call... After coming home he gave me 2-3 kicks just like that... that was one of the coolest movement...

I know its not good to do such kind of jokes with somebody, but if you are sure that you will make it joke and keep it away from seriousness and you know the person well, I think its perfectly ok.
