Vox Hunt: Fooled
Show us a fool.
A fool by what means? I used to do pranks on April 1 but then I got bored or at least I would think that no one would think it's a joke. I don't have a photo of a fool that I did so, I'll just list down have I done from the past April Fools:
Desktop(s):
- A few years back, I did a prank on one of my officemates. She went out to have lunch and didn't even lock her desktop. Let's call her "Cecil", I don't want making a fool out of her all this years. To continue, me and my colleagues were in a Web IT department where one of them has access to the Window's Remote Network. I guess, being the head of that department, I was a bad influence when it comes to joking around. I was passing by and saw that my officemate, "Andy" (masking his name also) wasn't doing anything and we were all on our lunch break. I asked Andy to access the open on Cecil's desktop. The moment I asked that, Andy already knew what I was up to. He gave a sinister smile and quickly set it up.
Cecil went back and we were all busy with our projects. Cecil was the type who just learned how to do programming and doesn't know much how to work around the PC. Every five minutes, I would nudge Andy to play with Cecil's mouse control on his computer. The first time the mouse moved on it's own, Cecil was shaking the mouse and thought it was broken. On the third time her mouse moved, she was already bitching about it and everyone could hear it. On the fourth time, she was telling us that her PC was possessed.
I, then, moved over to Andy and opened a note pad on her desktop from there and typed in: "Hi, Cecil!" After that she stood up and walked out of the room. Everyone else knew about it and started laughing. When Cecil returned I went to her, gave her a cup of coffee from starbucks and hugged her as I said, "Happy April Fools!" - A year later in that same company, one of our officemates from the Marketing Department had a brand new laptop. She was so thrilled to have a laptop but she's not too familiar on how to use it. On that day, she was trying to act like she was busy. No one liked her since she's always fooling around and couldn't get a client to close the deal. A few hours later she went to have a break and left her laptop lying open next to our table.
I looked around to see if some people from the Marketing were near. I smiled and waved at them and pointed at the big calendar. I made a hush-hush gesture and they all smiled back. I tinkered with her laptop as fast as I could. I pressed the print screen button and opened the MSPaint. Pasted the image and saved it. I changed her wallpaper using the same image that I saved and hide the taskbar as well as the icons on her desktop. I scoot back to my desk.
When she came back, she went straight to her laptop. A few minutes later she was frustrated and thought that her laptop is frozen. Everyone else was riding along with the joke and making her feel guilty that she broke it. A few minutes after Andy asked her, "What's today?" while smiling that sinister smile.
Well, those are just a few of my tricks. heh.. yeah, I can be mean at times.
