Hey just wanted to say hello to everyone....my name is K. I posted a few post and then realized their is an introduction forum. I am freeztar's little brother and he invited me to the forum and I have enjoyed reading everyones contributions. I don't know how much I will have to offer except some great ideas for office pranks and maybe some information on finance and economics. That's about it...CHEERS!!!

Welcome to Hypography little bro! :wink:

Aha! You wouldn't by any chance know anything about something called.....

 

ANNOY-A-TRON

 

.....would you? :)

 

Freezy told us about it on a thread and had me laughing my *** off.

 

I'd love to hear more. :doh:

Ahh yes Annoy-A-Tron. The best invention known to man. This story is quite long because I don't want to miss a detail.

 

Well it all started when I put one of my co-workers cellphone in the ceiling. I called his phone over and over again and watched him ransac his office and at one point even putting his ear up to the wall. Quite funny!

 

I had so much fun with that I decided to go search the internet for my next gag. That is when I came across.....Annoy-A-Tron. Obviously, I ordered it (with overnight delivery I might add). :) For the low price of $14.95 I knew it couldn't hurt. Little did I know it was the best thing money could buy. :lol::hyper::lol:

 

I would like to take this time to give a little background on the co-worker I was planning Annoy-A-Tron for. He is a very calm and collected individual who is very philosophical and logical. Little did I know he had a whole other side to him.

 

Annoy-A-Tron arrived and I eagerly got to the office early and set it up in his office. Annoy-A-Tron has 2 sounds that you can select. One, a simple beep (sounds like the beep if you hold you key on your computer down for two long) and the other sound was like a grasshopper on steroids. Obviously I choose the grasshopper sound. The sounds go off randomly from 2-7 minutes. It could go off one time after 4 1/2 minutes and the next time go off in 6 minutes and 15 seconds.

 

I placed it on the underside of an antique table he has in his office. Annoy-A-Tron has a magnet attached with it so it stuck to one of the old hinges on the bottom. I left the office only to find that a woman (April) who sits outside his office saw me. I let her in on the joke because I had no choice. She was just as eager as I was and was sworn to secrecy.

 

My co-worker arrived and I peered out of the corner of the hallway and notcied that every time the noise went off he would look around for a few seconds and then go back to what it was he was doing. I had to leave the office for a meeting and did not return for 4 hours. Upon returning I walked down the hallway and saw April's face. She gave me a look that signaled Annoy-A-Tron was performing extremely well. I immediately went straight into his office. As I opened the door my co-worker was standing before me. his hair slightly messed up to show the signs of a man clinching his hair in frustration. He looked up at me with a face that signaled a broken man who was in serious distress (This is only 4 hours into it). I continued to look around his office and all I saw where 2 clocks that he had hanging on the wall completely disassembled on the floor, a cigar humidifier completely disassembled and an office phone sitting in the middle of the floor unplugged. To this day I do not know how I kept a straight face. He looked at me and said "Their is this f*****g sound and I cannot figure out where it is coming from. He asked me to sit there and wait to her then noise. I entertained him for a couple of minutes and then said I had to go finish some work and left the office. It was about 1:15 and he came into my office and let me know he was leaving for the day and left the office. April and I lost it and as we walked into the office it looked like a bomb had gone off in it. Papers, folders, clocks. cigar humidifiers, and batteries everywhere....everywhere. I left that day eagerly anticipating tomorrow.

 

I arrived the next day to see him still squirming with the sound. He was edgy, frustrated, and anxious. I went to my office and buried my head in my hands. It had gone to the next level. At one point in the day, he begin taking individual objects out of his office and placing him in the hallway as if this was the most scientific way to determine where it was coming from. He put a laptop bag in effort to identify the sound on another co-workers chair outside his office and when the co-worker came back from lunch and said "What is this bag doing on my chair" my partner came out of his office screaming "Just leave the bad alone John, just leave it there." He left the office at 12:45 that day.

 

The next day was Friday. I came in to see him under serious distress. He had a this point began to move furniture around and I still don't understand why but he did. I went to my office snickering and tried to stay far from him as I knew I would lose it at any-point. I was sitting in my office sipping on my coffee to hear from the hallway his office door open and all of a sudden I hear a man shouting "BEEEEEEP BEEEEP THAT F****G BEEP WON'T STOP." Literally saying beep an lingering out the sound of it. He walked straight down the hall and out of the office. The time was 10:45. He was broken.

 

I decided to remove Annoy-A-Tron as I felt I was now interfering with a man's work and it had been enough. Monday he came in and upon hearing no beeps he was instantly in a great mood. I was happy to see stability return to my friend and partner. I was trying to think of my next victim as I was concerned if I got more than one person in the office started talking obviously people would catch on. As I was typing my partner came into my office and started gloating about a huge sale he had just made and how it would benefit for me to be as good as him. Fool! Annoy-A-Tron was reinstated back in duty the next day.

 

Over the next few weeks I continued to get him. a few things that happened were:

Timing with a stop watch he had brought in to try to predict the sound and be ready for it (very funny)

Disconnecting his computer and opening it up.

Many phone calls to wife describing what was going on (I think she thought he had gone crazy)

Rearranging furniture (I still don't get this)

and much more...

I am not going to go into all of the details because this would turn into a book at this point. Just imagine! He was hanging on my a very thin thread.

 

One day I returned from a meeting to see 3 building maintenance people in his office. I realized it had gone to far. He had these 3 building maintenance people searching his office for about 2 hours until the got fed-up and said they would look into it and left. They were on ladder looking in the ceiling, disassembling all of the sockets on the wall, replacing the thermostat in the office, etc. It was hilarious to see him try to explain everything to them. Simply priceless. They were frustrated as well. I walked into his office and pretended to help him look. He looked at me and said "I am going to the manager to request and office change." He walked out of the office. I quickly grabbed the device and ran back to my office. For the next 15 minutes the manager sat in his office waiting to hear this "sound" my partner described to him. Finally the manager left and said "look if you want to move I will move you but I don't hear the sound." The agreed if he heard it again he could move.

 

At this time I contimplated putting it in there. Having him move and then setting it up in the new office but I figured he had enough. This poor man looked like he was losing sleep, not eating, and was really breaking him apart. I was done. I packed up Annoy-A-Tron and put it away.

 

Annoy-A-Tron is one of the most powerful things I have come across in my life. I can't even begin to explain all of the emotions, random actions, and breaking of one's mind. I urge you to try yourself as the results are incredible.

 

Actually I think I might set it back up in his office next week. Its been a couple of months. :evil::lol::hyper::hyper::hyper::evil:

 

I hope you enjoy this story. Sorry for the length. I did want to give the full effect though.

Grains you are really evil:naughty:I love it! What I wouldn't have given for something like that when I worked for DuPont! Although I did manage to make a guy pass out from fear once and the rescue squad had to come and get him.

Well at one point I worked in a huge industrial complex several stories tall and the size of several football fields. I worked shift work and at time we had little to do but hurry up and wait. one night my PA system had stopped working so having some time on my hands I took it apart to see if I could fix it. I didn't fix it but for some reason it began to tick loudly. Of course that couldn't be ignored so I set about to see to what use I could put the ticking. In a huge indoor but open area two floors above the PA box was a mezzanine. I put two and two together and come up with seven, so I wrapped several pieces of plastic rods in red tape so they looked like sticks of dynamite. Then I attached wires to the "dynamite" and hid it inside the PA box and called a friend over to look and see what was causing it to tick. Mean while another friend went up on the mezzanine with a large hollow metal box. When the guy opened the PA box to reveal the "dynamite" the other guy dropped the metal box from two stories up. it hit with a titanic boom. the guy was slowly pulling the dynamite out of the PA box as the metal box hit the floor. he fainted dead away. I thought he was dead but the rescue squad revived him and he chased me around the building for a couple of hours. he didn't have a good a sense of humor as I had hoped! He never trusted me after that. Sad to loose trust, made him harder to screw with for a long time. Oh yeah, I also scrapped the B out of his name he had stenciled on his helmet and as he chased me around he couldn't understand why everyone was laughing, his hat said ***.

And you said I was evil! :hyper::evil::evil:

 

I am going to have to try the dynamite thing. I concede to the king! I have yet to make a man pass out. But I have added it to my list and will let you know how it goes.

Be very careful, I came close to loosing my job over that one and I had to do some major *** kissing to stay employed. Now days they would probably put someone in jail for the rest of his life for that! I really felt bad for the few minutes I thought he was dead, that would have really not been funny but since he didn't die it was major funny!:hihi::hihi::hihi:

[REASON]

You guys are hilarious. :lol::hihi::):hihi::hyper::hihi::lol:

 

There is no way I could maintain for that long.

 

As I had told freezy in the TGIF thread, the day he wrote about this, I was talking to my buddy about it, when outside his window (our offices are at ground floor level), between our building and the building next door, a computer monitor crashed to the ground. It was the strangest thing to see all of the sudden. I saw it hit the ground and it was falling straight down, so I figured it had to have come from at least four stories up.

 

The first thing I thought was.....

 

Annoy-a-tron. :evil::hihi:

 

The timing was perfect.

 

 

Great story Grains. I can't believe you were able to maintain a straight face through all that. That was great timing when that you were able to get it out of there before his supervisor arrived. :hihi: Made him seem that much more insane.

 

Maybe the randomness of the reappearance of the Annoy-a-tron should mimic the the randomness of the beep.

 

Who knows when it will show up again, or where. :lol:

 

Thanks for sharing. My son and I got a kick out of it.
