When I was in high school I made a .bat file that autoran when you put it in a device. All it would do is open the disc drive every 90 seconds however it did convince one teacher that she had a virus which caused giggles all around.
I remember something like this being passed around as a "free coffee cup holder" - and when you ran it, all it would do was open your cd rom tray.
Whenever someone forgot to log out the terminal at university, we "fixed" their ".login" file by adding a command that listed all files, followed by a " ... deleted", and logging the user out again. One could easily see that the deletion was just fake, because the next time one logged in, all those files were listed again...
That reminds me of how anyone could feel like a 1337 hacker if they run the tree command lol
find . -exec echo "{} ... deleted" \;
logout
