Warning: Turn your volume down if you are at work. An F-bomb is dropped during the course of this video.
Tossing a laptop at someone, especially one that they asked you to repair, is just about always going to result in them dropping it and screaming expletives at you. There will probably be some name-calling and the questions concerning your sanity/intelligence. Basically, the recipient is going to create a scene.
Here is the setup:
I repaired dad’s MacBook at work today, and brought it when I went over there for dinner. I also brought over a machine I made from broken or discarded parts, because why not scare him?
This makes the perfect situation for a prank. Swap the fixed laptop for an already-broken, non-repairable unit, set up a video camera some where discrete, and throw the laptop when they least expected it.
Not exactly a brilliant prank, but who can question the simple joy of tormenting a loved one?
