Office Pranks
-
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)

Does it involve your guns?

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:

Can't do anything that would require a login - we're on a DoD network.

As long as no property gets damaged, we're all fine. I like a good prank.

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.

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.

Well you know the old saying, "You pay peanuts, you get monkeys". Maybe the wages are low in the DoD.
