Printer Hack
A friend told me about how he had gone on a political forum and taken on a fake persona that was the opposite of his actual politics. He went into this group at the extreme side of the general attitude of the forum and proceeded to berate everybody for not being far enough on that side.
He was having fun hammering everybody using arguments he didn’t actually believe. So I found the forum and created my own identity that I named “2doorsdown” because my office was one away from his and proceeded to hammer him as an obvious fake who was so apparent in his ruse that anybody could tell.
This went on for a couple of weeks with each day him relating to me some big debate he’d engaged in with this sudden opponent that was nailing him on every point. We’d go over his strategy for what to say the next time he would go to the forum.
I would of course anticipate his tactics and hammer him harder each time and called him out on things that it would be impossible for a stranger to have info on but of course I would.
After a couple of weeks I figured that I couldn’t keep this going so was going to finally end it and started printing out all of our chats but after hitting print, forgot to pick up the paper from the shared printer.
That afternoon he appeared at my door, white as a ghost muttering about this guy suddenly having access to our printer/fax. At that point I lost it and he immediately realized he’d been had. One of my favorite, long pranks. Story credit: Reddit / lizardflix
