bother that freeper at work.

I know, it could get you in trouble, but it is fun to think about using something like this.

A devious hide and seek game

The ThinkGeek Annoy-a-tron would be useless against an army of Snowbots, but it's very effective at disturbing that guy in the sales department or your "friend" down the hall. With its thin design and embedded magnet for easy hiding, the Annoy-a-tron can be placed in a variety of locations. Select one of the three sound choices (2 kHz, 12 kHz, or alternating) and push the switch to the on position. Place it in a proper hiding spot and let the "fun" begin.

The Annoy-a-tron generates a short (but very annoying, hence the name) beep every few minutes. Your unsuspecting target will have a hard time 'timing' the location of the sound because the beeps will vary in intervals ranging from 2 to 8 minutes. The 2kHz sound is generically annoying enough, but if you really really want to aggravate somebody, select the 12 kHz sound. Trust us. The higher frequency and slight 'electronic noise' built into that soundbyte will make a full-grown Admin wonder where his packets are.

4. Childish and could very well get a person fired

If you can take out your freeper co-worker with masterful debate, and they are easy prey, then you need to go educate yourself and come back for round two.

Hiding electronic beeping devices is distinctly unprofessional, and quite frankly in the era of terra scares and what have you, could push a major panic button, rolling out Homeland Security and the rest of the emergency response team, and if you're found out, get your ass rightfully canned.

This is juvenile shit, and shouldn't be used at work or anyplace else.

5. If a harmless practical joke gets you fired

then you have a shitty job.

[MadHound]

6. I don't know where you work, but where I've worked practical jokes are considered unprofessional

And will get you either fired or severely reprimanded, depending on the scope of the joke. I used to work at a nuclear reactor, and putting a beeping device anywhere within such a facility will get you fired. Most other jobs would do the same. It's not that it's a shitty job, it's because you are performing a juvenile act.

But hey, if you want to try it, go for it. Just don't come back whining about how you lost your job.

9. At a job where security is critical

I could understand. Elsewhere, as long as you didn't do it all the time...bah. Anyone who gets upset about something like this has issues.
