Help plotting revenge

Currently a SA in IBD at a BB and just finished getting my balls handed to me by my staffer. He pulled off the sickest prank and scared the shit out of me so I need some ideas to get back at him.

How he got me: While plugging away, I get an email sent from myself. At first, I'm confused and think it's a prank but then soon realize I'm a) on my computer and b) have my blackberry in front of me so then I proceed to open up the email. There is a generic security message from IT saying something like "read immediately" , "security breach" and an attachment. Open up the attachment to find an official notice on bank letterhead etc saying something along the lines of how my email was hacked, security compromised and that I need to contact the local IT help desk within the next 15 minutes or else my computer would shut down for 24 hours.

I started freaking out but still didn't say anything to anyone in my bullpen. Frantically saving all my files, I began calling the number provided since it's after hours. Turns out the number was the cell number of a senior associate in the office. (keep in mind it's currently past midnight)

Long story short, I left myself signed in the copier/fax and so my staffer took advantage of that and proceeded to draft the security notices etc.

Point of the post: I need some help coming up with an EPIC idea to get back at him. I have about 2.5 weeks left in my summer. He's a really cool guy and completely candid with me so I'm not worried about jeopardizing my chances of an offer. He already agreed to official war.

Lol you got your ass served. I would of freaked the hell out too bro. Try to make it really good. Don't forget to be subtle. He will possibly be more aware (and skeptical if it applies) if he knows you are after revenge.

 

@Edmundo: thanks for the link to the thread--best thread ever!

@HoboBanker: dude talk about sweating balls man. It's pretty funny how paranoid he is now--we sit three cubes apart.

I'll post an update with details of my revenge!

 

the old switch the mouse and keyboard wires on the tower gets em every time. That or a piece of tape on the laser mouse inside little glass thing. Another one we love to do is the piece of tape on the little button that the handset depresses when it's on the phone. Then you turn the ringer on max volume and give em a call. When they pick up the receiver, it keeps on ringing... pranks that are fun but probably aren't serious enough to get you fired

 

these are hilarious man. i checked out the other thread and these aren't on there. im going to try and pull a few of these tonight when he's away at dinner...
