One of the guys in the office is not that computer confident  ...bless him.

He went out at lunchtime but left his pc on and unlocked  noooo:

On e of the other lads thought it was time to play a practical joke on him and they did a print screen of his desktop and saved that as a JPeg in Paintbrush .

They then moved all the files off  his actual desktop screen into the corner and out of sight.

Then went and retrieved the desktop picture and opened that up.

The poor bloke has just spent the last ten minutes swearing away at his computer , trying to click and open up icons that are actually just a picture . He was just about to phone I.T and have a full on rant when they put him out of his misery   noooo:

He will always lock his puter in future I reckon  whistle:

I once removed a colleague's entire computer from his desk and his it in a cupboard. Mind you, he was a bastard.

There's a bloke at work who everyone despises - and you would too if you met him.

We all bring bags/rucksacks in with our kit/food etc. His bag somehow ended up going round and round on baggage reclaim. Had his car and house keys in it...

Nice to know your lot are as busy as ever Miss D.
We did this on a slightly grander level with a stage manager we didn't like. We videod curtains opening to an empty stage and fed that to her off-stage monitor instead of the normal circle front camera. When she gave the curtain up cue, she saw an empty stage where there should have been a set and some dancing girls, panicked and ran on stage to applause from the audience. After that she was far better behaved.

I assume the hand approaching that poor creatures rear is yours, Nick. To be fair I don't see any ginger hairs !.

As I was leaving I decided to prank some of the laptops, Random sounds can be really effective, as can swapping the mouse buttons over.  whistle:
