Did some work on a guys PC, and he wasn't very nice about techies whilst I was doing said work, so I connected his internal speaker to the hard disk LED connector (it fits perfectly, as sboth are 2 pins).

You can probably imagine the (extremely annoying) result.
It's not who you know...

...It's what you know about them.

Similar to redfive in a way, I repaired a guy's PC who wasn't particularly nice towards me and quibbled over the very modest bill.

I placed a shortcut to 'the worlds most annoying web page' in his start up folder. Don't know if you've seen it, but it's a web page that has over 100 consecutive javascript alert windows on it that takes a good few minutes to get through before you can finally close the window!

On my mates computer I changed the normal start up sound you start Windows 98 to play the words "This computer will self distruct in 10, 9, 8..."

My mate nearly sh*t himself. Though he did kick my ass when he found out I did it.

At my old school I would switch the monitor cables around on the computers, so people would wonder why nothing was showing up when they started typing.

switch over keyboard, mouse and monitor at school, so when you type it comes up on your screen, but when you reset the computer it takes out the screen next to you. And as the computers often lock up at school they are reset often, so you can imagine the annoyance of the other person when someone resets his computer.

Some years ago at my old school we had computer lessons for nOObs, I was bored and moved everywhere on the chair until I saw that a very little push on my table could make the screen moves two tables next to me and the person on the computer really thought that the screen was moving/balancing .... He even got angry on the screen ( seriously I'm not joking !!! ) he asked the teacher for a non-moving screen but like all of my classmates she played the "game" with us, she was like "oh yes, this is strange type something to see if it will move" and other things like that ( whih of course he did ). We where all roflmao and 30 min later he finnally discovered that it was us .

After many years we are still laughing about that ... man I will not forget those years in that school hahahaha

another good prank was we kept on prankin out manager on his wrk fone. the coffee spot was at the other side of the room (directly opposite his desk)

whenever he went to make a cup of tea we would ring his fone, he could cum back runnin and jst as he was about to asnswer it we would hang up. he would go back swearin n cursin, we would b left in stitches and pissin ourselves he doesnt know it was us (me really i shouldnt blame the other guys 4 wot they didnt do) till this day!!!!

lololol
