At Christmas I hid an annoy-a-tron on the side of my sister-in-law’s fridge, which is built into an alcove so you can only see the front. In May I remembered to ask her if she had ever found that thing. Her reply was, “what?!” She is a contractor for the government and her job is pretty serious.

She has to take a lie detector test once a year to maintain her security clearance. So she thought it was a malfunctioning “bug.” She announced to the “bug” that she had found it and was going to destroy it.

She cut every wire she could find on it, and stored it in a shoebox under her bed in case she needed to present it as evidence in any legal proceedings she might ever be involved in. The thought of her talking to an annoy-a-tron with wire cutters in hand warms my heart. Story credit: Reddit / bodhemon
