Yesterday. It took me way to long to figure out why my mouse wasn't working....
Thanks, dear colleagues!

😐

@irene They're cheap as fuck haha

That’s the oldest IT prank I know... It’s still funny though

Jammer Joh??

@Michelle A Dutch phrase haha. Kinda similar to 'too bad, man!' or in this case/context: rekt!

@irene I can work with them but if I want a new/better mouse, all I have to do is ask :)

If he sits oposite of another guy, switch there mouses. Just switch the plug and connect mouse a to computer b and vice versa. It works best, if the second guy is on your team and moves his mous when the first huy is moving his too...

I'm so glad we don't do pranks 😅 The first couple of times it would be Fun, but I'll get annoyed pretty fast

@incognito we're on prank mode every day haha.

Left your pc unlocked? You'll probs see gay/shemale porn on it when you come back! Boss also participates xD

@linuxxx I died with the note. love it xD

Logitech mouse are universal. Also, the dirt on the rubber thingy which after some point when you move the mouse makes you feel like you are shifting gears is also universal.

@linuxxx same here! Leaving pc unlocked would send free beers to one night stand invites!

At my previous place! ^_^

Just gone around office doing this to all colleagues. 😂😂

@dontbeevil not everything has answer "switch to linux" :P :P

@Wabby That's the spirit. Spread the chaos (｡◕‿◕｡)

@dontbeevil haha, well said! Too early to break my funny bone.

Oh it wasn't the wireless mouse swap... When will you guys be getting those :)

@bitsnpieces The dark grayish fat junk that builds up on the surface of all mice... I scratched a mouse at the office yesterday, and it must have been a 3mm layer.

@yendenikhil Thank you for post it.

I do this to a lot of people.

I still find kernels in things.

Old gold :^)

did one a while ago with my boss (he has a great sense of humor): "it's not a bug, it's a feature" xD

@dougheeren oh my, that's a lot of popcorn 😂😂😂

@dontbeevil I use Linux at work, not really allowed to work with windows :)

@ThatDude Welcome back!

@linuxxx What would I give to have such a work environment?

The first thing I do when my mouse is stuck is check the underside. Normally a hair or something causing it.

@linuxxx which is a good thing amirite

This thread contains good ideas!

@D3add3d it was in my lunch box too. I didn't find that until later. And yeah it was all 4 of my teenagers didn't finish the bag.

Hahaha das pech

This one's easy. Try using transparent tape on your victim next time. If they don't look the right way under full light it's hard to spot..

@dougheeren oooo me loves green/orange keyboard!! 😍😍😍😍

Just pull out their ethernet cable and put a (lube free) condom over it.
Put a note above it it: "prevents Software Transmittable Diseases" :^)

@sladuled ty. I have one at home too WASD they are my most prized possessions

@linuxxx fakeupdate.net and the windows 10 installation is an old but still good one since not many people know the site.

Hey @linuxxx 🤔 I live in the Netherlands now

@liammartens De wut? Around where if you're comfortable sharing?

@linuxxx I live and work in Rotterdam now

More people are in Netherlands! ^_^

@liammartens where are you from originally?

@liammartens Oh damn, awesome!

@Codex404 from Belgium 👌

@liammartens that's a big move :)

Did you try reinstalling the os again?
Or
Reinstalling mouse drivers?
Pretty sure 10 percent of us might just try that.

Did you try buying new mouse?
Pretty sure 90 percent of clients will do that.

Dat is jammer joh!

I had a coworker do this to me once too lol, took me a while to figure it out as well.
