13. He Hung Out In Pixar’s Secret Room A Lot

It’s a legit secret room, only accessible through a hidden hatch in an animator’s office. Jobs loved it, and hung out there all the time. From Walter Isaacson: “It reminded him, he said, of the one that he and Daniel Kottke had at Reed, but without the acid.”

So, less cool.

14. He Raised Hell In School

“You should have seen us in third grade,” he once said. “We basically destroyed the teacher.” Awesome.

Jobs didn’t make the call but he was in on it, which is still pretty cool.
