As someone mentioned John Carpenter's The Thing the other day
I decided to watch it late last night after everyone else had buggered off to bed. I had finished a can of beer earlier that evening and had stood the empty can on the floor. When the film started, I put my phone on vibrate and left it on top of the can.

Half way through the film, Mrs SLVA sent me a text asking me to turn the TV down. The can rattled and I have never leapt out of my skin that much before and gave a girly scream.

What has made you jump and probably say 'jesus fucking christ almighty' (or words to that effect)?

Daughter
She waits around corners for ages until I come out of the can, or something, and jumps out at me going 'WUH!' and I bounce off the fucking ceiling.

It's supposed to make me laugh and stuff, but it unfortunately it just makes me angry, which she found out yesterday when I shouted at her :(

Haha
I'm not sure she'll be doing it again. I was pretty pissed off.

Truth be told, I'd just got in from work, sat for ten minutes taking a very relaxing and satisfying hangover shit, and was in a state of almost pure calm on exiting the stall, which turned into frustrated anger, and almost brown trousers, when she made me jump.

Your suggestion is ace, though!

Mind you
A feather duster poked through the bannisters and waggled while accompanied by wild screechy noises is also suitable revenge. Funny how childers don't like their ankles attacked by feathery screechy things.
