You're being melodramatic, but that's almost happened before: https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/1f86yl/tifu_by_playing_a_thinkgeek_practical_joke_the/ https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/1f86yl/tifu_by_playin... tl;dr Redditor puts annoyatron in Canadian office. Someone finds it and thinks it might be an espionage device, so sends pictures to the RCMP. RCMP thinks it might be a bomb, sweeps the building. OP somehow doesn't get fired. Obviously it's a reddit story, so take it with a few grains of salt.
