Humpday Hilarities

This one was sent to me by one of my co-workers:

Bad programmer, BAD!

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 tutor over and explained that no matter what she typed, nothing would happen.

The tutor tried everything. By this time I was hiding behind my monitor and quaking red-faced. I typed, “Leave me alone!”

They both jumped back as this appeared on their screen. “What the…” the tutor 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 ‘HAL 2000′ went on for an amazing five minutes.

Me: “Don’t touch me!”

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.
