A collegues computer has been left unattended! We all know what that means, and I'm pretty proud of this one 🙂
I took a screenshot of his background, rotated the image 180 and set it as his wallpaper. Put all his desktop icons into a folder, and hid the taskbar. Then in the settings, rotate the whole desktop 180 and it looks as if nothings wrong! Sad, but little things get you through the day. Just waiting until he comes in 😀
Anyone else got practical jokes pulled or been pulled upon?
Pretty well thought out that one! How long you been waiting to use it? Keep us updated on how long it takes your colleague to sort it out...
Ha ha, did you think that up off the cuff?
I once posted a non-bikey topic in the bikes section :-p
Oh that's brillant
Set up a screen saver marquee with "I like to kiss boys" in very large font. Then in mouse properties click the "Switch Primary and Secondary Buttons".
Has your colleague come back yet?
Fantastic.
If you sit near them then plug in your mouse into a spare USB port on his PC.
Then he can still control the pointer with his mouse, but you can "adjust" it with your mouse 😀

The win is strong with this one...
ctrl+alt+down is a very quick trick for intel graphics PCs
liking grahams suggestion too 🙂
Oh, apparently he's back on friday. I'll update then...
The day we gave an apprentice "prototype" 3D Hollographic Autodesk Inventor goggles will go down in history.
Add a scancode map to windows registry to the 'M' key is mapped to 'N' and the 'N' key is mapped to 'M'. Then lever off the M and N keycaps on the physical keyboard and swap em over.
A great one for touch typists..
If you want to extend the pain, first just swap over the keycaps, then once they swap them back, change the scancode 😀
Tape over the optical bit of the mouse
Ink on the phone ear piece, then run to your desk and phone them up when they get back
Swap the left and right mouse buttons around
Screenshot picture set as desktop (a classic)
Not IT related. But certainly the maximum comedy value I can rember was over a decade ago in a past life in the service of our monarch.
In our place of work was a set of pigeon holes where all the mail would be delivered to those who lived in camp.
We had been up in Scotland six weeks the previous year and quite a few romances and passings in the night had naturally taken place.
A long night with A PC and few cans had a letter drafted, post marks forged. Printed on the new fangled Colour laser printer and the Highlands and Islands Child Support Agency was born.
Slipped into a few well chosen duckets and sit back.
I was lucky to eascape without a beating but some of the victims faces will remain with me for life.
The simplest one we used to do was just tape an overinflated balloon to the wall behind a door and a drawing pin to the door. We did this on an office door leading straight off the shop floor at Tesco. Staff would walk in, BANG went the balloon, SHIT went the staff member, and then everyone on the checkouts would turn to look at said member of staff shouting profanities at the top of their voice.
uphillcursing thats a cracker!
