Do you have coworkers who use the hunt-and-peck method of typing? This trick is guaranteed to drive them completely bonkers.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Time
Your coworker's computer keyboard
A small screwdriver

Step 1: Wait for coworker to leave

This prank needs about an hour of uninterrupted time to accomplish, so be prepared to stay late one night after your coworker leaves.

Step 2: Dismantle the keyboard

With a small screwdriver, gently pop all the keys off the keyboard.

Tip: Leave larger keys, such as Shift and Space, in place, as they sometimes have extra parts and can be delicate.

Step 3: Rearrange the keys

Replace the keys in amusing new patterns, or just replace them completely at random. Either approach will cause plenty of confusion.

Tip: Spell out a personalized message if you'd like.

Step 4: Watch your coworker get completely frustrated

The next morning, make sure you're at the office in time to see your coworker try to type their first email. Hilarity garanteed.

I use the "Hunt and Peck" method to typing, but that is NOT what I look like when I type.
