I have no idea how you'd get mad in such a situation. I would have had to at least chuckle at the silliness of it all by the time I tried to pick up that phone.

I did a version of that prank to a roommate in college. I took a screenshot of his desktop, then hid all of his icons in a folder, then hid the task bar and set the screenshot as the desktop.

I don't remember how long it took him to figure out what happened and come yell at me, but once I showed him his computer was fine he was laughing about it with us.

Yeah, that was a standard prank. The real fun is you do that a few times so they get used to it, then next time instead just put a piece of tape over the sensor on their optical mouse and don't change anything else.

I'd your going to do that prank, do it the goon way and tape this to the bottom of the mouse.



Also change their background to a picture of the Hoff. Goons used to use one of his speedo shots but something more clothed would be more appropriate at work.

My favourite telling of this is somebody who did it to a coworker, and their coworkers reaction was to spend the day formatting c:\ and starting fresh.

0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself *sad*. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.
What's so fummy about that?

Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.
Real early in my career with my current employer when I was in the call center, a coworker left their computer unlocked when they left for the day. I changed their background to an upside-down picture of Shaq, then rotated the display in Windows 180 degrees. So the monitor hadn’t moved, Shaq was upright, but the taskbar and icons were all flipped and the mouse was reversed.

The IT tech they sent down to investigate it couldn’t figure out how to rotate the displayed image or how to google it on his phone, so they just re-imaged the whole machine. I was never blamed but they made a big deal about not messing with the computers like that.

One of the managers in the IT department used to known for giving people “the Hoff” if you left your PC unlocked (within his department, and without making a secret of it or rotating any displays, so it was “fine”). I wonder if he’s a goon or if there’s a more likely common ancestor to the joke.
