50 WAYS TO CONFUSE, WORRY, OR JUST SCARE THE PEOPLE IN THE COMPUTER LAB

Every time I post in this topic I'll tell you guys of one way to do the above, but I'll never double post, so you better post here!

1. Log on, wait a sec, then get a frightened look on your face and scream
"Oh my God! They've found me!" and bolt.

[Ironsight]

LOL, tell us the next one! :(

[PDM]

50 will be set all computers' home page to this topic right?

[Golden Legacy]

Rofl, good one Aqua. :( Can't wait for the next one.

[Nosferatu]

If it were to bore everyone to death, you could all make them watch you play .skate on a pull down screen.

I think I actually fell asleep playing the demo.

[Folcon]

I'm expecting novalty items to be in there somewhere. Like the plasic spilled coffee cup, or other such things that shouldn't be in the computer lab. I got my dad with one of those once.

[Toasty]

My uncle has a Coca Cola can like that.

I've got one, use the MS-DOS command prompt to open/close someone's CD Drive. Or put a password on the accounts so no one can log in.

[Aquamarine]

2. Laugh uncontrollably for about 3 minutes & then suddenly stop and look suspiciously
at everyone who looks at you.

[I'm Always BROKE]

NEXT PLZ!

[Aquamarine]

3. When your computer is turned off, complain to the monitor on duty that you can't get
the darn thing to work. After he/she's turned it on, wait 5 minutes, turn it off again,
& repeat the process for a good half hour.

[Toasty]

XD
Spontaneously bursting into laughter is one of my strongsuits. I could actually use some of this!

[Aquamarine]

4. Type frantically, often stopping to look at the person next to you evilly.

[PDM]

5.

Spoiler

there's nothing here, aqua needs to post again.

[Aquamarine]

5. Before anyone else is in the lab, connect each computer to different screen than the
one it's set up with.

[I'm Always BROKE]

Now THAT'S actually something I can see myself doing. :rolleyes: Next plz?

[Someone Else]

I've done that before. Awesomesauce, that is.

How many want to bet that Aqua's getting this from another site?

If somebody who is sitting next to you is looking at porn or MySpace or something, raise your hand slowly or something to try to get some attention from the teacher without the person noticing. It's a good way to make them jump/totally freak out when they notice the teacher is coming.

[Aquamarine]

6. Write a program that plays the "Smurfs" theme song and play it at the highest volume
possible over & over again.

[Toasty]

XD And then claim that the computer's caught a virus.

[Someone Else]

Try pressing Shift over and over and over on your keyboard. You should have a dialog box pop up saying something about sticky keys or something. (I have this feature disabled because it gets in the way of some of my computer games that use the Shift key a lot) Don't close the box, instead, go crazy on your keyboard and press Alt and Ctrl and Shift (not at the same time) in any order and you should hear a bunch of crazy yet hilarious sounds. This is a good way to either tick off or impress your peers.

In some programs, particularly Microsoft Office, there are also different sound effects you can use in your presentations. You can usually sample these sound effects without actually putting them in the presentation. This is where the fun is. My favorite are the barn animal sounds.

Another cool thing is the Degauss function that many monitors have. Sometimes when I'm bored in class I'll just reach over to the menu button on one of my neighbor's monitors and hit the Degauss. This can cause them to:

• Stare in awe at what just happened to their screen.
  
• Shout "WTF" at me.
  
• Ask me what I did and how they can do it again.

[Caael]

Once you get to 50, we should start adding our own.

These are great, though I know where you've found it. There's also one ' 50 ways to annoy your college roomie' and '50 ways to annoy people in an elevator.

I've done this before. It also works with keyboards and mouses. It was crazy hilarious.

[My Best Wishes]

I'm trying No.5 next time I have IT.

[Toasty]

I'm not shure how tight 'security' is around the computers at my highschool, but that would be pretty much impossible at the middleschool, since the wires are completely visible, and there's always a teacher watching.

[Caael]

Post the whole list, dammit! I wanna see which ones are possible for me to try. And besides, the shool is a lot less cautious about you in year 10. Scooreee

[Aquamarine]

No. You'll have to wait. I'm evil like that.

7. Work normally for a while. Suddenly look amazingly startled by something on the screen and crawl underneath the desk.

[Folcon]

So what's #8?

[Aquamarine]

8. Ask the person next to you if they know how to tap into top-secret Pentagon files.

[Caael]

Lolz

Another thing to annoy people on PCs is reach across and quickly press Shift, alt and print screen, and then enter. It's hilarious and they all beg you to turn it back.


Or just go on the desktop, and press ctrl+A then enter. Opens everything. Annoying for them, funny for you.

[Folcon]

number nine! nymber nine.

[Aquamarine]

Number 13 is hillarious, but you'll have to wait for me to get to it.

9. Use Interactive Send to make passes at people you don't know.

[PDM]

None of this is funny. *Puts the whole thing in spoilers*

Shake your head, and resume hitting the space bar on your keyboard. Keep doing this until you've deleted about a page of your neighbor's document. Then, suddenly exclaim: "Well, whaddya know? I've been hitting the space bar this whole time. No wonder it wasn't deleting! Ha!" Print out your document and leave.

# Two words: Tesla Coil.

[Someone Else]

"# Start making out with the person at the terminal next to you (It helps if you know them, but this is also a great way to make new friends)."

That's lollable. I also like the one about the Nintendo cartridge. I got bored halfway through, though. I'll read it again later.

[PDM]

The only one I really see myself doing is #41.

"# Stare at the person's next to your's screen, look really puzzled, burst out laughing, and say "You did that?" loudly. Keep laughing, grab your stuff and leave, howling as you go."

[Someone Else]

I haven't actually physically grinned over something on the internet in a while. :rolleyes:

[Aquamarine]

Great, I knew someone would find this stuff on the net and post all of it here. Ah well, no point in me posting the rest when you can read all of it in PDM's post.

[Toasty]

I'm pretty sure that firing up a Tesla coil in the middle of a computer lab wouldn't be the best idea.

[Ironsight]

If your teacher uses a projector to teach during Computor class, then when he/she isnt looking, sneak onto Wikipedia and search for: dancing Murloc. Pull it up on screen for the whole class to see!

(Last time i did this the teacher didnt even notice until after class, even with everyone snikering :rolleyes: )

[PDM]

Maybe you shouldn't have milked it then, Aqua.

[Aquamarine]

Yeah, well... Never mind, it's not like I'm disappointed or something. I would've probably got bored half way through anyway.

[Split Infinity]

I never noticed this topic before, so I'd just like to say...

HAH!

[Aquamarine]
