For security purposes, it should be good practice to lock your pc when you walk away. At my office, we practice harmless pranks when someone forgets, to "teach them a lesson". Usually just involves reversing/inverting displays, reversing mouse buttons, or changing the desktop background like this (because everyone is a closet bronie apparently)

    @shoop a classic, but slightly more than what the accepted definition of "harmless" is around here (in my office at least). all it takes is one bad apple...

    Y'know that clipping tool that saves an image of an area on the screen?
    1.Clip somebody's desktop.
    2.Hide/delete all desktop icons.
    3.Set the clipped image as background.
    4. Profit.

    If you touch my pc without my permission you’ll get fired.

    So I don’t need to lock it, besides, I can text my college’s from the toilet to start the next deployment.

    In a previous company, one guy who didn’t like me used a wireless mouse to play with me.

    He didn’t knew that the first thing I check are bluetooth settings, so it wasn’t really a prank.
    The next day his whole pc has been reset.

    Everytime someone leaves their PC unlocked at my workplace, we send a Teams message to everyone saying that the user who forget to lock the PC will bring a cake to work tomorrow :) we've had lots of cake this way

    MLP? Is that what we're going with?

    there's way worse you could use.

    also Clearlock is a fun one to make them find you (if they don't immediately try Alt+F4 that is)

    favorite weapon of choice

    add all timewasting sites into /etc/hosts or C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts and have them redirected - either to some nonsense or just to 0.0.0.0

    facebook, 9gag, twitter, all those copypasta meme pages, etc...
