This is a question Messing with people's heads

Theophilous Thunderwulf says: What have you done to fuck with people? Was it a long, carefully planned piece of psychological warfare, or do you favour quick, off-the-cuff comments that confuse the terminally gullible? Have you been dicked with, and only realised many years later? Are you being dicked right now? Tell us everything.

DOS PCAnywhere sometime in the 1990s
One of our business partners based somewhere down south was a bit of an arrogant dick and would revel in flashing off his fancy cars to us underpaid juniors.

When 'their' software needed configuring he would dial up our workshop on the 33k modem and take control of one of the PC's running DOS and would then spend hours installing and configuring it.

Unfortunately he never thought to disable the Host console screen or keyboard.

Whenever we walked past this remotely controlled PC we'd spend a few minutes pressing random keys for him. Good one were the ctrl alt and shift which would then deliver completely the wrong characters or the wrong case.

It was gleeful watching him having re-type the incorrect characters or deleting the extra ones we'd insert.
