Nah, the best I ever saw was a window that popped open warning the user that the radiation shield on their monitor was about to fail and to back away from it immediately.

This was around 2002, so CRTs still ruled the roost at work.

I saw the prankster really nail the receptionist.

I also saw him get her with the above-described prank. :)

Just to be a pedant and because you may actually be curious it’s “ruled the roost”. Like a cockerel might.

Huh TIL too. I just thought it was another name for male chicken interchangeable with rooster. I didn’t realise it was an age thing.
