I’m not interested in “pranks” where someone is victimised, harmed, or upset.

Tell me the funniest harmless pranks where everyone involved can laugh and nobody feels bad.

    Take a full screenshot of the desktop, then edit the image so you flip it upsidedown (180). Now, put that image as the background for the computer, and hide the taskbar, and any desktop icons. Lastly, update the monitor setting so it is upsidedown (180).

    For the user, it will seem like everything is normal, but when they move the mouse, it will go in the “opposite” direction (as monitor has been flipped).

    To help them solve to fix it, the easiest is to flip the mouse around upside down, and move it around like normal.

        I did something like that once. I noticed my sister’s wireless keyboard was still paired to her laptop, so every once in a while I’d hit the CAPS LOCK key.

        I was suppressing laughter for about an hour until her temper boiled over and I had to come clean, as she was about to smash the laptop to bits!
