I have to admit--I do--some people, not all. Hence:
The Annoy-A-tron
This could literally drive someone insane. We have it---my husband bought one a year ago and first tried it out on me. I have a short fuse and a foul mouth anyway, but he is lucky he's still alive, and I didn't even know he was the culprit. I was walking around screaming WTF is that?
Random, subtle, beeping.
He brought it into work and another victim spent 6 hours disabling his cube to find the source. Read the letter from the satisfied customer from the site---hilarious.

BTW, want to buy Evil Tron and stick it in my kids closets, but then they would be stuck sleeping in my room :sinister laughing:

Something unsettling creaking
Unidentifiable scratching sounds
Gasping last breath
Sinister child laughing
Eerie whispering of 'hey, can you hear me?'
(+ a Random Mode)

(34,131 posts)That would be fun - get a half doze or so of these things, set them all for random sounds or even set each of them for a single sound, scatter them around a domicile then call in the ghost hunting teams. They'd think they had hit the motherlode of haunted houses!

(36,818 posts)What you did was take a can of sardines, crack it open, then duct tape it underneath one of the teacher's desk drawers. You did this on a Friday right before a 3 day weekend. By Tuesday, you were holding class in the gym while school officials were trying to figure out where the smell is coming from.

(12,640 posts)Someone (probably the guy who just retired) hid one of those above the top "locker shelf" of a cubicle over the winter break and it scared the living crap out of some of the others in the office when they came back.
Everyone knows I shop Thinkgeek and Archie McPhee.
Darn him. If he had let me know, I'd have hid some more all over the place.

(41,936 posts)one of the very elderly ladies there received a Christmas card, the kind that when you open it plays Jingle Bells over and over until you close it or run over it with the car. She was deaf as a post, and wasn't bothered by it in the least, but one day someone dropped it, open of course, behind the bolted-on dresser on the wall. Everyone thought hey could outlast it but that sucker went on for a couple of days before finally petering out. The lady was fine but no one else could stand to go in there.
