You know what? I will do just that.

Have you ever try rubbing your big thumb against your index finger? It makes a cricket like sound if you put it right to your ear. That's a good way to startle someone. I can't believe I haven't done anything to pay them back for all the time they made me squeak.

The first thing I did when I got my new office where my back is to the door was order one of these: Rear View Computer Mirror - CLEAR: The Spoon Sisters - Great Gifts Opening Everywhere (http://www.spoonsisters.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=51309-1&Category_Code=1008000&Product_Count=60 - broken link)

People laugh, but I can see who's coming.

Ha, I've done that to a friend of mine with a candy wrapper between my thumb and forefinger. Sounds like a pack of firecrackers going off.

You want to get even, when they are away from their desk turn up the speaker volume on their computer speakers. If you really want to get malicious, place a personals ad (gay one for male co-workers) in Craigslist with their number listed. You can sit back and listen to them fend off unwanted advances all day long.

Uuuu...that would be so cruel...so cruel that I have to try it. I may get fired afterwards though.

LOL...Even worse. I bought a remote control "fart" device at Spencer's and we put it in a box behind one of the chairs at the table during a sales meeting. I waited until a quiet moment during the meeting and pressed the button.....PFFFFAAAARRRRTTT!!!! Everyone turned to look at the agent sitting in that chair. The look on their face was priceless and HILARIOUS!!

I couldn't contain my laughter and finally got caught....we played pranks like that all the time but I was the champion of pranks for a while after that one!

OMG I can relate to that. I had one who did that to me every chance he got because I'm the same way. It got to the point where when they heard me scream at the nurses station-yes, I got that startled--they'd say, "It's just Doug messing with Sue again" and ignore it. I hated it because I was worried about disturbing the patients.
