Nt online but someone here at work put a piece of tape over the infrared sensor on some of my coworkers' mice causing them to call the help desk several times. One guy didn't even get it while looking at the bottom of his mouse with the tape clearly visible and being shown another mouse without the tape. The best part is this guy is a real tool so we had a good laugh at his expense.

:spin:

I put a piece of electric tape on the tv sensor so no one could figure out why the tv wouldnt turn on. (resulted in almost smashed remotes) I was to busy at work to play these pranks on people here but maybe i'll try that mouse one on Monday just for fun anyways!

I just saw a commercial for this and thought it must be an April Fools joke, but no, it's real-

EATING WITH CANNIBALS

April Fools' joker leaves man glued to Wal-Mart toilet; cops, medics pull man off john, seat and all
Police in Maryland are hunting for an April Fools' joker who left a helpless man glued to a bathroom toilet in a suburban Wal-Mart store. *** The man was taken to a nearby hospital where the seat was removed. He left with a few scrapes and scratches on his backside, CNN reported. Cops don't think the man was a target - instead, they think it was a case of the old "superglue on the toilet seat" April Fools' day practical joke. ***

This is nasty, but how could he not have noticed glue all over the seat beforehand....unless he really really had to go....
:oops:

I thought everyone wiped down the seat in a public toilet before using it? And every time I've used super glue, the stuff dries real quick, almost instantly.

A friend printed this and posted it by the photocopier in his office.

No word on outcome from it yet though.

I'm going to spend the next 30 minutes sending that to various printers all over the network.

There's a guy at work who has "successfully" been talking to the printer for the past 4-5 days now. I didn't believe it at first, but when I showed up unexpectedly at the site today, two former employees of mine (who didn't know I was already in on the gag) felt the need to pull me aside as I entered the office area. I let them know that I was the one who sent it to the printer.

A few years ago, we installed a voice recognition system to reset our network logins. They told this guy that Canon system uses the same "my voice is my password" software to know what to print. "Print Excel" or "Print Outlook" prints the active item open for that application. Meanwhile, what's really happening is someone is sneaking over to his laptop and and hitting the print button. More to come...

What happens if he tries to make copies? Hasn't he noticed no one else is doing it?

And even if such a thing were possible, why would you get up from your desk and talk to the printer when you have the print button in front of you. Walking over and talking to the thing has got to take longer.

Me too. I couldn't imagine not noticing glue on the seat. I'm thinking this guy will be a little more attentive in the future... :lol:
