Two lads at a tech conferences doing childish giggling over "big dongles"

and "forking a repo" ("I'd fork *her* repo", that kind of thing). A lady sat in front of them disapproved, and instead of having a word, or having a work with the organisers or anything like that, she t**tted a picture of them, and what they were giggling about saying it "wasn't cool".

Anyhoo, one of the lad's conference credentials were visible in the picture, so he was personally identifyable, and this big twitter and facebook hoohar kicked off, and he actually eventually got sacked. Then the hoohar got even worse with people saying it was totally out of order to sack him, and eventually the company that the lady works for got DDoS-ed off the internet for a while, as retaliation. So, in order to protect themselves, and thier "brand" and that, she got the sack too.

One tweet, about a brazillion comments, and two lost jobs.
