I got pranked with this website: https://updatefaker.com/

I recently switched from manual labor to office labour and learned the hard way to lock my screen :)

In hindsight it was hilarious, but I waited for maybe 20 minutes before I got suspicious. How can I take revenge?

  • Screenshot their desktop
  • hide all icons
  • set screenshot as desktop background
  • watch them die inside as nothing works, not even a restart.

Optional step:

  • put your wireless mouse receiver in their computer and subtly click occasionally, or move when they move. Has to be subtle enough for them to question their sanity for a few hours.

I managed to do the above once. Worth it.

    I did that with the bonus of flipping the screenshot upside down on photoshop first. Then flipped his screen.

    That's a great addition. We used to screenshot it with an application open so they would keep trying to close the application. I had a coworker restart their computer several times before he realized what was going on.
