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?
Ctrl + Alt + up arrow key sets the monitor output to be upside down.
I also am a fan of making the cursor huge and turning on pointer trails.
These are good pranks with the right level of irritating. They make it hard to work but not impossible to do the work
This happened to me. When you didn’t know this is possible in windows, it takes a surprisingly long time to fix, but there’s no real damage done.

Fuck that got me good, didn’t know that one
If you have fixed desks, put a piece of sticky note over the laser on their mouse. That or use the monitor settings to rotate their screen 180 degrees when they aren’t around.
CTL + ALT + arrow keys will do it for ya
Not sure that this is a universally available hotkey for rotating screens. Certainly doesn’t work on my laptop.
Alt + F4 works though.
I think it only works with external displays specifically running on an Intel integrated GPU, iirc
Don’t - one person’s pranking is another person’s bullying.
If you can’t take a prank, you shouldn’t pull a prank.
Edit: apologies, I misunderstood that you were pranked first. I’m not a prank fan but you obviously have cause to retaliate. I’ll leave my original comment below.
This doesn’t make sense. “It’s just a prank bro… Can’t you take a joke?”
If the person being pranked doesn’t find it ‘funny’ what is it?
In our office, any time someone leaves their screen unlocked, we turn everything upside down in the display settings. Good way to remind people to Win + L when they get up. 😆
Put one of them fake ransom ware screens
Take a screenshot of their desktop. Set that as the background image. Right-click the desktop and uncheck View -> Display icons on desktop.
Your just pranking the IT guy that will have to fix it. A user can’t be expected to navigate a context menu.
Maybe the IT guy was the intended victim. You always want several layers separating you from your crime!
Also auto hide the task bar and move it to another edge.
What you do is take a screenshot of the desktop, rotate it 180° in MSPaint, set it as the background, hide and move the taskbar, hide desktop icons, and set the screen rotation to landscape flipped in the display settings. You’ll get a desktop that appears normal but can’t be interacted with, and a cursor that moves upside down and backwards. Rotate your victim’s mouse the wrong way around if they’re gullible and they’ll think the mouse messed everything up,
Lmao, this is really good.
Pure evil
I did this to our shipping guy that had anger issues, he got so mad I got scared to tell him what I did
An old boss of mine would find people who left their computer logged in and would send an email to the department from it saying “I love you all so much!”
I worked in a different office and didn’t realize that’s what was happening. I just thought the Russian guy was happy to be in America.
I like this. It’s wholesome
One day when I was visiting home office I ran into him in the elevator. My lead introduced me to him. I blurted out, “Oh the guy who sends the I love everyone!” emails.
He promptly started swearing and cursing our manager and saying what things he would do to him if he caught him in a dark alley and ranted for the duration of the elevator ride. Then shook my hand and said “Nice to meet you!” and went on with his day.
Put some tape over the optical sensor on their mouse. Bonus points if you print out a little dickbutt picture or something.
We would use a picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger with the words “You’ve Been Terminated.”
Bonus points if the light from the sensor lights up his robot eye.
You could ‘upgrade’ them to a better operating system: https://malisipi.github.io/ubuntu-tour/

I enjoy how when you connect to it from an Android phone, it’s like:
What in the fuck do you want here?! We’re not spending computing resources on you, dumbass. Go, send it to your heathen friends!
You just gave me an awesome prank to pull on my wife. Thanks!
Buy a live lobster, cut the rubber bands off, and hide in their lunch bag.
That’s a big lunch bag if you can hide in it. Hope it keeps you safe from that angry lobster.
DON’T do what I’ve done a couple of weeks ago - landed me my first HR meeting ever :D
I had to use my coworkers (lady around 50, not too clever with the computers) computer on remote desktop. As I was about to close it, I thought to myself “Perfect setup for a joke”. On her computer, I went to https://pranx.com/hacker/ and put in on full screen. Literally like 30s later, our IT guy (he’s in the same room as me) get a phone call and all I can hear is shouting in the earpiece. I say to him don’t worry, I know what’s this about, I’m going to sort it out. I went downstairs and boss’s wife is running past shouting that we need to phone the police, I walk into the lady’s room and she’s hysteric. I say cool down, it’s a joke.
Safe to say, they were not laughing (probably the fact that I still was, wasn’t helping my case :D)
Pranx is good but did you ever try this BSOD prank with you friends which is look more realistic and funny, You can check the most real look screen from here https://whitescreentest.net/blue-screen-of-death-prank/
Have any other monitors available?
If you do, literally change the monitor and hide the other one. Smaller the better.
Small post it note over the sensor under the mouse.
Scotch tape also works for this.
Clear tape works really well, because the mouse will still work, but terribly.
Oooh. Love it.

Damn it, this is exactly what I came here to suggest. Ah well, too late now.
