I was the first person in the office every morning, and my co-admin was the last one out every day. On April Fools Day 2014, I came in to find my desk, chair, monitors, keyboard, and mouse wrapped in bubble wrap. Several layers, taped with clear shipping tape. The night before he and our sales engineer had stayed late and wrapped it all. They also taped a terminator pic over the red laser on my mouse. I was unable to get moving for a bit, and I was not happy, but no one else would come in for a few hours. I knew his Windows password so I: - turned his screen upside down with the background right side up - Turned the logon background upside down - changed his keyboard layout to Dvorak Southpaw - disabled the login screen Lang/KB selector in registry - as well as his taskbar volume control after turning it up - set the mouse angle 30° to the right, since he used a trackball mouse. - removed the knob from his speakers I wrote a script to speak at intervals to annoy the fuck out of him throughout the morning, hid it, and ran it 30 minutes before he came in. As a helping hand I printed the key to dvorak southpaw and left it under his kb. <script> Dim sapi Set sapi=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice") wscript.sleep 2700000 sapi.Speak "Click" wscript.sleep 500 sapi.Speak "This is halloween" wscript.sleep 510000 sapi.Speak "auntie em, auntie em, it's a twister" wscript.sleep 480000 sapi.Speak "no smoking" wscript.sleep 3000 sapi.Speak "do good work no error" wscript.sleep 720000 sapi.Speak "what did the lawyer say to the other laywer? we are both lawyers" wscript.sleep 480000 sapi.Speak "yah moohlah baby" wscript.sleep 300000 sapi.Speak "win ning" wscript.sleep 50 sapi.Speak "ha ha ha" wscript.sleep 180000 sapi.Speak "typing" wscript.sleep 840000 sapi.Speak "I'm Rick James, biitch" wscript.sleep 50 sapi.Speak "I was banging twenty gram rocks cause that's how I roll" wscript.sleep 240000 sapi.Speak "nullified depolarized phooey" wscript.sleep 653891 sapi.Speak "insurmountable fractionate fast" wscript.sleep 15000 sapi.Speak "you are, fired" wscript.sleep 120000 sapi.Speak "The same thing we do every night pinky, try to take over the world" wscript.sleep 300000 sapi.Speak "get Back to work" wscript.sleep 840000 sapi.Speak "I'm sorry dave, I'm afraid I can't let you do that." wscript.sleep 50000 sapi.Speak "click" wscript.sleep 360000 sapi.Speak "touch me" wscript.sleep 180000 sapi.Speak "sweat, baby sweat, baby sex is a texas drought" wscript.sleep 540000 sapi.Speak "ba dah ba ba ba.

  It was a very very small shop (3 in IT, 2 in Accounting, 2 in Sales, 4 in Billing, and the Owner) owned by a dude in his late eighties. He made his son CTO and he set all the infosec policies, until his dad let him go because my co-admin and I convinced him that our practices were bad and outdated. His health started declining and he got more nervous about changing things and losing control until he passed. So while we were modernizing the server room to virtualize and containerize servers (his son had every service running on its own late 90s/early 00s machine), he didn't want to have his cheese moved (ironically, he made every new employee read Who Moved My Cheese). That included the password to his son's Domain Admin account, which he used to log in to a few things and was the only Domain Admin account he wanted on the network. My co-admin was required to use this account to manage many things and often left his PC locked on that account. His son inherited the business after he passed and put a freeze on any more changes to "his" network, so our hands were tied until I left. My coworker and I were both in our early 20s and were naïve to say the least.
