What's a good way to prank your coworker? (lemm.ee)

I got pranked with this website: https://updatefaker.com/

I recently switched from manual labor to office labour and learned the hard way to lock my screen :)

In hindsight it was hilarious, but I waited for maybe 20 minutes before I got suspicious. How can I take revenge?

If you have fixed desks, put a piece of sticky note over the laser on their mouse. That or use the monitor settings to rotate their screen 180 degrees when they aren't around.

CTL + ALT + arrow keys will do it for ya

Not sure that this is a universally available hotkey for rotating screens. Certainly doesn't work on my laptop.

Alt + F4 works though.
