COMPUTER CLASS!
For a computer programming class, I sat directly across from
someone, and our computers were facing away from each other. A few minutes into the class, she got up to leave the room. I reached between our computers and switched the inputs for the keyboards.
She came back and started typing and immediately got a
distressed look on her face.
She called the teacher over and explained that no matter
what she typed, nothing would happen. The teacher tried
everything. By this time I was hiding behind my monitor
and quaking red-faced.
I started to type, "Leave me alone!"
They both jumped back, silenced. "What the . . . " the
teacher said.
I typed, "I said leave me alone!"
The kid got real upset. "I didn't do anything to it, I swear!" It was all I could do to keep from laughing out loud. The conversation between them and the computer went on for an amazing five minutes.
Me: "Don't touch me! That hurts!"
Her: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit your keys that hard."
Me: "Who do you think you are anyway?!" Etc. Finally, I
couldn't contain myself any longer and fell out of my chair
laughing.
After they had realized what I had done, they both turned
beet red.
Funny, I never got more than a C- in that class.
