Blue Screen of Death is one of the most absurd Windows error which hangs and restarts the PC. Most people hate it as it suddenly appears and all the work they’ve been doing since can get lost. You can simply do this by downloading a BSOD image from Google then put it as the screen saver. Whenever they get out of their seat and come back later, they’ll look on a Blue screen and will be mind fu*ked until they move the mouse and figure out the prank.

Change the Mouse Pointer to something else

Basics of windows, whenever the circle beside the arrow pointer is revolving, means something is loading up. What if it keeps on rotating on forever and nothing loads up. This will make your silly friend frustrated and you can Snapchat him then. The cool thing is that even rebooting won’t resolve this problem.

This can be done easily by going to Control Panel then Appearance and Personalization > Personalization > Change mouse pointers to see your options. We recommend “busy” or “working in the background.”
