My roommate keeps changing my desktop to vulgar images and changing my homepage to meatspin. It's more of an annoyance than something that actually bothers me, but I feel obligated to do something in retaliation. I have fairly regular access to his room/stuff while he's not here (and obviously he has access to mine as well).

Ideas?

AHAHAHA!

A few pranks that I've pulled off in the office together for April Fool's:

1) Duct taped the elevation lever on my coworker's chair so that when he sat down, it would plummet.
2) Put scotch tape over the lens of his optical mouse. Took him a few minutes of troubleshooting (unplugging/reconnecting the mouse) before he thought to look underneath.
3) Flipped the orientation of his desktop and compensated for the shift by adjusting his wallpaper and task bar. He tried holding his mouse in various positions and tilting his head. :D

He retaliated by walking by my desk and swatting documents in my tray onto the floor... and did it every few weeks thereafter. :p

Put some mayonnaise in a container, leave it on a windowsill for a day or two, insert resultant compound into condom, then leave filled device on his pillows.

Disable his CPU cache? Change Word's autocorrect to insert derogatory words? Switch his girlfriend's and mom's cell phone numbers? Learn to lock your computer?

come on dude, you can lie to your mom but you don't need to lie to us.

just remember the websites, don't bookmark them and remember to set your browser to clear all user info/history on close.

Just hit prt scr button and take a picture of the desk top, and set it as the background and hide the icons and task bar. I love doing that at work. It just leaves people scratching their head when they try to click on something and it does not launch.

You'll Need:

1 - Can of spam (empty)

1 - hair-dryer

2 - medium grade sandpaper squares



Take the hairdryer and sandpaper, and stuff it in the can of spam. Then, when he isnt home, you fuck his sister.

I've always liked this one.

Or fill his room to the top with balloons.
