My slacker coworker attached a spoon to his monitor serving as a rear view mirror, so that he knows when somebody is standing behind him and can see his screen, which allows him to better slack off the whole day.
He's sick today (he often is), and I am looking for a nice prank idea, ideally involving this spoon. I thought of rubbing a piece of butter against it to make it murky and greasy, or maybe attach a photo of our boss to it.
But I need a better idea, so please comment! Thank you, much appreciated!

Change everything on his pc to spoons, background, cursor, login screen, browser theme

Or glue thousands of spoons to his screen

Change the spoon with a fork

@JhonDoe That one is gold! Thank you!

take it and put it in your ass and walk around for a bit, and place it back again.

PRANK'D

@Linux Not exactly my fetish, but otherwise good idea.

@M1sf3t Behind him is just the entry hall, I think I cannot manipulate anything therein. But thanks anyway!

Replace it with a picture of Neo and the text "there is no spoon".

I'm thinking.. If there is _any way_ to put anything behind him.. Like a tiny mirror.. Put a source of light on your desk so noone would see it. Aim it tp the mirror behind him or any intermediate mirrors. Make sure the reflection of the light is directed to his spoon and is visible to him while he's sitting.

That way you could turn on the light without him knowing it and he would see flashes of it on his spoon. Turn the light off soon enough before he turns his head to identify the source.

Unexplained random flashes in periferal vision field should be annoying af :)

ofc this requires a lot of precise adjustments.

On the other hand.. If the spoon is reflective enough, maybe projecting the light on the wall behind his seat would work too? Like with those toy lasers. It doesn't have to be much, just enough to catch his attention by the reflection on his spoon. Ceiling might also work

The easy prank is change it with a wooden spoon. Points him out to more people and serves no useful purpose.

There is also the thing of the wooden spoon being seen as last place price in competitions.

The whole light and laser stuff is a bit too sadistic ;-)

The Neo picture is great, but I don't know if he'll get the reference.

The wooden spoon is fantastic! My wife also suggested a plastic spoon before, makes it a bit less classy :-)

- Set a task in his pc so that a certain hours it opens some random unnapropiate and awkwardly loud site.
- Bind his keys with something like autohotkey so that whenever he presses a random key, a really really loud fart noise is emitted from some cleverly hidden loudspeakers.
- Make a script that randomly changes his mouse sensitivity from time to time.
- Again with something like autohotkey, make an script that at random intervals presses the keys to write some insult and then presses enter, bonus points if you manage to somehow detect when he is using something like Skype or writing an email (and instead of pressing enter, it sends the email)

@fjmurau I get what your wife means but it should be an overly sized spoon to point out how ridiculous the spoon is. It also makes a point about the spoon. If the prank isn't about the spoon then he won't get the hint.

Take it, fill it's cavity with salty water and let it dry. I think all the salts will make it non-reflective. Not sure tho.

This may not be as problematic as I thought... change the shade of the colour of the spoon by rinsing it in whatever, like the stuff old ladies use to make their hair blue. Because he was gone today, he'll be looking at the spoon to see if the slight difference he sees is the result of the alcohol bender he spent yesterday sleeping off at home. Think of something to do at least once a week. And, in the annals of fuckery, always assess the risk of revenge behaviour before u engage int it. Good luck.

@fjmurau how about a spork.

Please, just place your self in a good spot !

Behinde me : a window and I have perfect view on room entrance

Mini webcam and motion detection ?

lo and behold

Now for the real prank - file a health and safety report about the fork.

Change his mouse pointer to a spoon!

I don't think @fjmurau would be having access to him pc, for people suggesting pranks with it.

@cmarshall10450 Should I try to hurt myself with that fork?

Yeah! Fall against it accidentally on purpose. Then when you come out of court after bankrupting him and the company you can point and shout, "Ha. Pranked you bro!"

Him > where is my spoon?
You > well, looks like it was so good, it has been forked

(bad joke, I'm sorry)

Just to catch up (> 3 years ago): The guy once went to the bathroom and forgot to lock his PC, Spotify still playing. So I rick-rolled him. After he came back, he just listened to the song and looked quite happy...
