My favorite was to screenshot the desktop, set that as the background, then move everything on it to a different folder.
You can just disable desktop icons in windows. It's both less destructive and more infuriating.
Flip the image upside down and then flip the screen upside down as well so it looks normal. Except for the cursor, which will be upside down and moving in the wrong direction.
In the good old days we would just do that prank by taking the ball out of the mouse and putting in again backwards.

We used to shout in the company chat about how much "i" love the company.
Very bad spanish sentences were fun too.

We used to do this stuff to people who would leave their computers open, or flip the screen upside down.
It was a pretty benign way to teach people to lock their damn computers when they left.
I used to take a screenshot of the desktop, set it as the wallpaper. Then hide all the desktop icons and set the taskbar to auto hide.
Microsoft removing CTRL - ALT and arrrow to turn the screen is a crime.
I thought that was video drivers. It was part of the Intel drivers when I did support ages ago. Students would be annoying about it in the labs.

Wait, did they really? They made a fucking shortcut for LinkedIn but took this away?
I was wondering why that didn't work... No fun allowed.
and of all the amazing mustards available, she had to get stuck with one of the most shitty vinegary last-resort-only option
As a mustard lover, heinz isnt even close to the actual worst one, which is the whole foods brand mustard. Its made with apple cider and it is revolting. The best widely available yellow mustard to just grab in a store is plochman's.
There are so many awesome fancy mustards out there, but if I want the ballpark standard yellow mustard, I usually just go for French’s. It’s the same principle with ketchup. When I want ketchup I just want Heinz. If I go to a restaurant and they are all proud of their “house made” ketchup, it is probably going to be too sweet or tomatoy or whatever. Just give me what I grew up with and don’t mess with it.
That said my wife has been making mustard at home recently and it is amazing. It’s not yellow mustard but a tangy grainy mustard that is great.
