how to be annoying in the computer lab

  • Laugh uncontrollably for about 3 minutes and then suddenly stop and look suspiciously at everyone who looks at you.
  • When your computer is turned off, complain to the monitor on duty that you can't get the darned thing to work. After he/she's turned it on, wait 5 minutes, turn it off again, and repeat the process for a good half hour.
  • Type frantically, often stopping to look at the person next to you evilly.
  • Before anyone else is in the lab, connect each computer to a different screen than the one it's set up with.
  • Write a program that plays the "Pokemon" theme song and play it at the highest volume possible over and over again.
  • Work normally for a while. Suddenly look amazingly startled by something on the screen and crawl underneath the desk.

  • Use AIM to make passes at people you don't know.
  • Make a small ritual sacrifice to the computer before you turn it on.
  • Bring a chainsaw, but don't use it. If anyone asks why you have it, say, "Just in case..." mysteriously.
  • Type on VAX for awhile. Suddenly start cursing for 3 minutes about everything bad about your life. Then stop and continue typing.
  • Enter the lab, undress, and start staring at other people as if they're crazy while typing.
  • Light candles in a pentagram around your terminal before starting.
  • Ask around for a spare zip disk. Offer $1. Keep asking until someone agrees. Then, pull a disk out of your fly and say, "Oops. Forgot."
  • Every time you press return and there is processing time required, pray, "Ohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohpleaseohplease," and scream "YES!" when it finishes.
  • "Disk fight!"
  • Start making out with the person at the terminal next to you, whether you know them or not.
  • Put a straw in your mouth and put your hands in your pockets. Type by hitting the keys with the straw.
  • If you're sitting in a swivel chair, spin around singing "The Thong Song" whenever there is processing time required.

Hit his/her delete key several times, erasing an entire word. While you do this, ask: "Does your delete key work?" Shake your head, and resume hitting the space bar on your keyboard. Keep doing this until you've deleted about a page of your neighbor's document. Then, suddenly exclaim: "Well, whaddya know? I've been hitting the space bar this whole time. No wonder it wasn't deleting! Ha!" Print out your document and leave.
  • Remove your disk from the drive and hide it. Go to the lab monitor and complain that your computer ate your disk. (For special effects, put some glue on or around the disk drive. Claim that the computer is drooling.)
