Dec 4 2008Annoy Coworkers With The Annoyatron 2.0
The Annoyatron 2.0 is a little gadget that makes annoying noises at random so you can drive a very special coworker to the point of stabbing you and/or stealing your lunch from the communal fridge. The sounds are as follows:
-15kHz (Mosquito tone) (full volume)
-Cricket chirping (medium/low volume)
-IM Doorbell (low volume)
-Grating Electronic noise (full volume)
-Typical Electronic Beep (medium volume)
Just hide the little board in somebody's office, don your stab-proof jacket, and wait for the insanity to set in! Don't have a stab-proof jacket? Well you're in luck -- I happen to be selling them! They may just look like garbage bags, but you have The Geekologie Writer's personal guarantee they are real garbage bags.
Annoy-a-tron 2.0 Lets You to Slowly Drive Your Co-Workers Insane Just for Fun [gizmodo]
Thanks to 42 y/o undead warlock, who doesn't need an Annoyatron, because he's got warlock powers and shit.

They give a pretty fun story with it!

FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like the scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max and Baja mess up the house before Aunt Bea returns just to make her feel needed.

ya this is actually really old...years old
7. Grimthwacker - December 4, 2008 6:15 PM
Actually it's not old. The original has been around for a while but this is the new 2.0 version.

You can set me off on a 9 state killing spree by playing a song by "The Fray".

Or you could just buy one of those singing greetings cards, rip out the music thing, and hide THAT in somebody's office. I think beeping that plays 'Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopping down the bunny trail" is way more annoying than a "typical electronic beep"

@7 You're right, it have more tones... so much more fun!

I had the original version of this thing. I put it in a co-workers cubicle for a while (the guy right next to Moose Knuckle). We feared he was about to find it after listening to it for a few weeks, so we took it out of his cubicle and managed to hide it under the dash of his vehicle. I totally forgot about it until this just reminded me.
It only made one tone, and it reacted to certain noises. If you clapped, or closed a door, or set something down on a desk that had some weight to it. Even a stapler, it would make it go off.
Maybe I should break into his car again, see if it's still in there, maybe it just needs a new battery.
Pew pew pew!

Hey Moose,
Don't let him read this post, he never found out!
Doh!
13. Moose Knuckle - December 4, 2008 7:26 PM
Holy poopstick, I totally forgot about that, that shit was hilarious. I remember he was all kinds of aggro for awhile, but I don't think he ever found it I think the battery just died.
Ah, memories...

"FIRST!!!!"
....doesn't count if you don't say it.

Ha Ha @11 - @13
I remember that. Moose Knuckle wanna make out?
16. Dolly - December 4, 2008 8:02 PM
OLD!!!!
This is completely old news. I saw this shit on Gizmodo year's ago.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie The Karate Kid where Daniel-San tried to jump his motorcycle behind Miyagi's restauant.

I has a joint
But I don't has a light
Does anyone has a light?

I am the light!

23. Thumperchica - December 5, 2008 9:35 AM
This would've been funny at a few companies, but not here =(
24. LSDiesel - December 5, 2008 10:52 AM
My assistant manger is annoying enough.

This may be a new version, but I bought an almost identical device almost 20 years ago. Geekologie again proudly welcomes you to the cutting edge of last millennium technology.

Just do what my coworkers do and read my monitor as I read the news. That works - do I wait for them to finish the article or just scroll down?
Or spraying the phones with Lysol - love that one! Ever hear of Isopropyl Alcohol?
Or touching the glare screens because they can't afford glasses. What's that say? Let me put my finger on it, there - I marked it with a smudge for you! I don't know how to wipe anything off - remember I can't see very well!
Or eating in the work area and spilling sh** on the keyboard. So you'll Lysol the phone but leave food products smeared inside a keyboard?

Those things are awesome, but so annoying when the table gets turned on you lol we have one and my boyfriend hides it all the time to annoy me. XD
