Cute Prank to play on someone.

I was looking on the internet and came accross this and thought I would share it. I may try this n my wife later today too.  :-)

 

If you place a post-it note over the bottom of an optical mouse it disables it on the screen. The person basically thinks their mouse is broken until they flip it over and see.

I wouldn't suggest that you try this on your Boss.

This sounds mean....a mouse is a very important item.   One other one is to string all of the paper clips togehter so when they take one they get the whole string.

I would not try this on my temperamental assistant either...before we shared a laugh the poor mouse would end up in pieces.

Or on old school mice, you can twist the bottom where the ball is and remove the mouse ball... another good one is to tape the phone hook/button thing down so that when they answer the phone it doesn't pick up (I suggest you be the first to call them after you do this so they don't actually miss any important calls). Last but not least, one that had much success when played upon me, is you can actually fairly easily pop out the letter buttons on your keyboard (helps when cleaning the keys), which means you can switch out one or two and if your target happens to still look at their fingers when they type... well.... it can be very amusing. For you - not for them. ;-)
