I have 2 examples.

Ill share one; my stepdad was always a huge piece of shit. He still is, actually. He'd trick us into eating tomatoes. Me at 12 could eat them, whatever. My 5 year old brother was forced to eat them, and got grounded if he didn't. He would actually force us to eat foods we didn't like and would literally backhand us across the face for "disrespecting" that we had food on the table.

I worked at a sub shop that had the hottest of the sauces. I told a similar version of this story to my boss, and got my hands on an illegally 'hot" sauce. I poured the whole bottle into a store-bought salsa i knew he'd eat.

When I was in vocational school, back then you could flip the display upside down by ctrl alt down (with amd GPUs I think), so in the IT classroom when no one was there, I logged in to every pc and flipped the screens. Next class was canceled because IT was busy and nobody knew how to fix them.

We did the same thing then flipped the monitors upside down. They were CRT so it took the teacher a week to find out.

We also put the keys on the keyboard in alphabetical order. We got caught right away because an ESL student couldn't type. They knew who did it right away.

I did that keyboard prank too at work on a tester pc, just swapped m and n and a few others. People were pissed as fuck and they knew it was me.

I think that's a windows feature

Correct. I used to use the same key combo to switch virtual desktops on my Ubuntu install way back when and when on Windows my muscle memory would result in screen rotating all the time

Yeah. We do it if we catch someone logged in and away from their desk.
