Adventures in Awkwardland, Episode 15: Computer Pranks

I'm surprised I lasted so long working in the computer field with idiots like this.

During a college course, we were being shown how to plug all the components of a PC together properly. Getting a little bored, I glanced over at the student next to me fumbling with all his cords and bending all the way over the desk to see the rear of the PC (apparently it was too difficult for him to turn it around). While he was doing so, I turned the brightness knob on his monitor all the way over so that when he finally got the cables plugged in the correct order, nothing was on his screen. I leaned over to "help." I said, "Let me see if this works," and slapped the side of the monitor while inconspicuously turning the brightness knob back up with my other hand. The next time he turned around, I turned the brightness knob back down again and left the room. When I came back, the poor guy was beating that monitor senseless.

Don't forget to tune in to Shenanigans with Joey and Sam on WIXQ 91.7 the Ville on Wednesday. We have an Awkwardland segment around noon-thirty each week where I pick a great story and force the listeners to hear it. Those who listened in, namely Phil, Gerard, Charlie-O and Stephen, thank you! Makes us feel popular.
