When everyone was out of the house, I made an accurate sized "paper mache" of our cat and fully duct taped it to the kitchen wall.

It still stands there today :)

I put a piece of masking tape over the sensors of everyone's mouse that I could access that day. About 12 or 13 in total, lol!

I would have liked to have had the time and access to hide everyone's desktop icons, then replace their desktop background image with a screenshot of their desktop before the icons were removed.

got both ideas from a website, forget which one...

When son was young (4th grade?), I did the following to his lunch he took to school:

wrapped his containers in plastic wrap. Not so bad that he couldn't get it out but enough to slow him down.

Instead of regular Cheez-its, I filled his container with Gripz crackers. Teeny-tiny crackers. (He loved this one so I would do it periodically for fun.)

Sewed his lunchbox shut. It was a nylon zippered lunch box and I used a very heavy thread -- craft style. I first sewed a zigzag pattern across the top of the container area (with the lid open) and then zipped it shut and did a few stitches there. I left the thread hanging so it was easy for him to figure out and undo.

He was quite the talk of the table that day.

I used to do weird things to his lunch to give him a laugh during the day. He was a quiet fellow but had a great sense of humor. I'd buy multiple 365-day desk calendars and stick that day's pages in his lunch. Comics, word-of-the-day, puzzles, etc.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
