I wrote a small script to open up a "My Little Pony" youtube video once an hour, gave it an official-looking name "system-mlp" and started running it on the background of a friend/co-worker's computer. He hated "My Little Pony".
Installed a mouse app on our phone so when our coworker sat down to work we would move the mouse slightly to trip him out.
One of my favorites was when I added a browser plugin to my friend/co-worker's laptop that replaced all images in the browser with a random Nicolas Cage image. We didn't know it at the time, but his browser was synced to his home browser where his wife was working on something for her mom's business. My friend stepped away from a meeting after his wife called in a panic, "Excuse me, my wife thinks there's a virus on our computer". He came back a few minutes later laughing while calling us colorful names :D
This was all the same coworker.
If you think we were totally unfair to him, he dished out plenty.
He one time opened up a port with netcat and piped the output to the wall command. While I was working in vim or doing other terminal things, I had my whole team typing random characters or sending me creepy messages like "I'm watching you" or "print('lol')".
At my last place of employment, we used ncage often. Eventually we evolved to also use Cenafy (which seems to have since been pulled from the Chrome Web Store 😢)

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
