I don't need some fancy device to annoy people. I'm like the MacGyver of annoying people. I can craft something annoying out of nothing more than a straw and a wad of paper, or a rubber band and a paper clip.
I just got one of the ver 1.0's free from Think Geek w/a 25 dollar purchase. I can't wait to place it somewhere in my office tonight when everyone leaves and watch the mayhem ensue tomorrow when I have the day off for the Gallery Show.
My dad built something similar with a light sensor, you put it in a drawer and as long as the drawer is closed it does its annoying thing (a chirp at a random interval), if you open the drawer it shuts off, making it a real pain in the ass to find.
I think that the title should be "lets you TOO" (or "lets you TWO" if you are talking to the two assholes that would do this). Or maybe you meant "allows you to". Or maybe Sarah Palin wrote this headline.
@stlblufan: That would be clever if it was (a) more timely and (b) more accurate.
Gov. Palin is a lot of things - an attention rhymes-with-bore; a religious wackjob; a also-ran who is oblivious to the fact that she is being set up as a patsy. However, her ability to spell was never really a source of embarrassment.
I think you have her confused with fmr. Vice President Danforth Quayle.
@stlblufan: no prob, man. i just thought it was funny because your correction would have been incorrect. really, they should just take "to" out. changing it to "too" would still be wrong, grammatically and morally.
I remember pranking a co-worker one time by swiping his cellphone and setting the ringer to "Cat". I then hid the phone in an accordion folder on the top shelf of the racks in his office. We took turns calling him throughout the day.
Then, there's the cheap but effective method of using Ctrl-Alt-Down Arrow to turn the screen upside down. And you can always have fun by putting messages in people's email signature. My buddy whom I nicknamed "Fat Balls" agreed.
Sometimes, though, the simplest methods are best. I was annoyed for the past two days by a fly buzzing around the fluorescent bulbs in my overhead lights. Free and easy. If you can get a fly.
@OMG! Ponies!: You can always visit my farm. A lady once said to me "You attract more flies with honey than you do vinegar". If I had not already been on double secret probation, I would have said to her, "Miss, I know for a fact you attract more flies with horse shit than you do with honey".
@Git Em SteveDave loves this guy->★: OMG! Double-secret probation? Did you go to a small New England prep school by any chance? All my 'friends' were on it at one time or another...
is this more effective than my usual method of playing my ace of base cassette full blast whilst stabbing coworkers randomly with plastic cutlery according to i saw the sign's hypnotic beats and glorious melodies?
@Anonymoose: How can anyone think "The Sign" or "Another Baby" is annoying? Now if I sang them, THAT would be annoying, and a case of using someones weapon own weapon on them.
@EVEs_Mako: Hahaha. Off topic but along your theme. I knew a guy, who during a nasty break up, installed one of those battery operated remote doorbells in box spring of Mrs. Xs bed, carefully making sure it couldnt be seen. When she brought guys home, he would sit out in this car a few hundred feet away and ring it. She coudlnt find it and it took weeks for the battery to die. No, I am not advocating this, but it is funny as hell.
@TBM-Fan: No, it was the brother of a dear friend of mine that I got to hear all the dirty details of the divorce over drinks. I, personally, feel living well is the best revenge. That and good hair.

One better.
Take a screen cap, hide the icons and the task bar, flip the screen cap upside down, then Cntrl-Alt-Down the monitor.
For real fun, move the task bar and the like to the side or top, so it just appears dead.
Also, flip flopping the left and right mouse button is also evil. As is setting the XP wake up music to "Never Gonna Give You Up".
Hrmmmm. I just realized I'm the office bastard.
