We might as well all contribute.
Back in college in 1969 we would submit our Fortran IV assignments on
punched card of course. One day I got back junk and discovered that it was
not my card deck under the account ID card so I went through the pile of
returned decks and printouts and found that another student had swiped my
deck and put his name on top so I took back the deck and shuffled his deck
well before returning his ID card to the top and resubmitting it. I never
heard a thing about that episode but I sometimes wonder what his next
output looked like.
