    I share an office with two other people. Lately, my co-workers and I have been playing pranks on each other. Monday: One of the guys swapped my wireless mouse with another workstation, so when I moved the mouse that was placed in front of my monitor, the cursor would not move. Tuesday: He tried it again (yes, the same prank - no imagination). Wednesday: I re-booted his machine, went into the BIOS, and disabled his SATA controller, making his machine think there was no boot disk in the box. Today: I came in to find a chair that was not mine, missing all but one of its castors, and with a sign on it that read "Reseverd For VB Programmer". They had also set the voice-assist stuff on so that it read everything on the screen out loud. Today: In retaliation, not knowing which of the guys did it, I moved all of the extra office chairs (almost a dozen) onto their side of the room and interlocked the legs, as well as a couple of old tires that were in one of the storage closets. Tomorrow: I have a plan. :) (we desperately need an evil-grin smiley)

      Here is a sneaky and evil we use to do. In the keyboard layout 'N' and 'M' are next to each other. Switch them. very hard to detect and will drive them insane. [evil grin]

      Yusuf May I help you?

              It wouldn't affect me (or any experienced programmer I suspect) - I don't look at the keyboard, I look at the screen. :laugh: Now, if you go into windows settings and change keyboard language to French, or Croatian... :evil laugh smiley:

                            Those are great when someone leaves their machine unlocked. Last week, a lady down the hall did that and ended up with the "Ultimate Warrior" wrestler poster as her background with some weird music playing.

                            I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                                I share an office with two other people. Lately, my co-workers and I have been playing pranks on each other. Monday: One of the guys swapped my wireless mouse with another workstation, so when I moved the mouse that was placed in front of my monitor, the cursor would not move. Tuesday: He tried it again (yes, the same prank - no imagination). Wednesday: I re-booted his machine, went into the BIOS, and disabled his SATA controller, making his machine think there was no boot disk in the box. Today: I came in to find a chair that was not mine, missing all but one of its castors, and with a sign on it that read "Reseverd For VB Programmer". They had also set the voice-assist stuff on so that it read everything on the screen out loud. Today: In retaliation, not knowing which of the guys did it, I moved all of the extra office chairs (almost a dozen) onto their side of the room and interlocked the legs, as well as a couple of old tires that were in one of the storage closets. Tomorrow: I have a plan. :) (we desperately need an evil-grin smiley)

                                If they have an optical mouse, place a small strip of scotch tape over the sensor.

                                  It wouldn't affect me (or any experienced programmer I suspect) - I don't look at the keyboard, I look at the screen. :laugh: Now, if you go into windows settings and change keyboard language to French, or Croatian... :evil laugh smiley:

                                  That is the point. This won't work if someone looks at the keyboard. Try it and you will see what I mean.

                                    If they have older wireless mice, it's always fun to reverse the batteries.

                                    I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.

                                      I share an office with two other people. Lately, my co-workers and I have been playing pranks on each other. Monday: One of the guys swapped my wireless mouse with another workstation, so when I moved the mouse that was placed in front of my monitor, the cursor would not move. Tuesday: He tried it again (yes, the same prank - no imagination). Wednesday: I re-booted his machine, went into the BIOS, and disabled his SATA controller, making his machine think there was no boot disk in the box. Today: I came in to find a chair that was not mine, missing all but one of its castors, and with a sign on it that read "Reseverd For VB Programmer". They had also set the voice-assist stuff on so that it read everything on the screen out loud. Today: In retaliation, not knowing which of the guys did it, I moved all of the extra office chairs (almost a dozen) onto their side of the room and interlocked the legs, as well as a couple of old tires that were in one of the storage closets. Tomorrow: I have a plan. :) (we desperately need an evil-grin smiley)
