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.

The n-gage story a few posts down reminded me of this...
A few years ago when I worked in Coventry, one of my colleagues got a new laptop. This is before they were as common as they are now, and he made a big deal of how small, light, battery life-mungous & more fully featured than any other laptop his was.
One day later that week, a fax arrived - it was from our laptop-wielding hero, proclaiming "Woo, I'm sending this from my laptop, check me out!"
I took the fax, reduced it several times on our photocopier & then scanned it back through the fax so it was on heat sensitive paper & left it on his desk, the page he'd sent now a barely legible postage stamp size.
When he came into the office later that day I greeted him with "I think your fax settings are wrong mate, that doesn't look right to me".
Cue bemused headscratching & an afternoon of looking through the settings, trying to find where the "fax output size" was stored :D
