Office pranks, Annoyatron

Prior to retiring, I bought some of these annoyatrons and placed them around the office 1 week before I retired. I only disclosed this on the day of retirement. It absolutely drove the IT people and the owner of the company nuts. If any of you are looking for a special prank then this is it.

There was a thread on here at one point. Went on for days.

There was a great thread about one of these pranks probably 10 years ago on OT lounge. Can anyone find it?

Google shows multiple of these threads.
Here's one of them.
ETA: Google has links to that giant Annoyatron thread, but like the other post said, it's no longer here.

Ahh, the annoyatron. Created one of the most legendary threads in all TigerDroppings history over 10 years ago

We had a guy go ballistic, screaming and throwing shite, after someone put one in the ceiling tile above his desk.

Unfortunately none of them are THE thread. I think that one is gone now.

I seem to remember that the original annoyatrons were much smaller and very easy to hide in small places.

When I retired I wanted to write my own out of office message. They wisely didn't let me.

I did something similar, hiding a small battery operated device that was making very faint beeping sounds occasionally in a co-worker's office. But the fun part was everyone else pretended they could not hear it.

Thread on here years ago. Was hilarious.

Did anyone else catch her big ole fat titty on top of the cubicle wall at the 1:14 mark or was that just me?

That chick legit almost stabs the frick out of herself opening the box at the beginning of the video.

I bought a few after that thread. I pull them out every April 1.

They were. The originals were basically a little chip with a thin magnet on the back, and the only sound I remember it making was a cricket.

I knew a couple of folks that couldn't type without staring at the keyboard. So naturally I popped some buttons off and put them on the wrong buttons. One guy had problems typing for a week or two till he figured it out.

Not PC today, but back in the day I knew a friend would be out of town for a week and he was paranoid re privacy, so he always locked his door when out. I called his secretary & on being told he was out, asked her to leave a message on his door...her standard procedure I was aware of. " The Gay Pride meeting set for tomorrow nite has been moved to that Friday. " And it was there for the whole week.

There was a version that was only a single high pitched beep that was randomly timed. Sometimes the period was a minute or two and sometimes it might be several (10+) minutes. Made it impossible to locate. I need to find one of those again.
