What do you mean "myth"? (Score:1)

I think that there is some well documented evidence that cleaning crews and the like have done things that cause IT people headaches. For instance, at the university where I used to work, we had problems with one particular network connection that turned out to be because a maintenance crew used our fiber to tie up some other cables and get them out of the way. Knots and fiber don't play well together. :-)

I'd be willing to bet that anyone who has been in the business longer than 10 years or so has first hand experience with such stories. They aren't so common now because ordinary people are more educated about networking and computers and such or they just aren't allowed in places where they could cause damage so much anymore.
