The Endless Zoom Call Target: A coworker Setting: Office or remote work Theme: Technology-based Description: A harmless prank that makes your coworker think they can’t leave a Zoom meeting because a fake message keeps appearing when they try to close it. Materials Needed: Access to your coworker’s computer (with their permission, of course, or while they step away briefly). A simple browser window or desktop background with a fake error message saying "Leaving is not an option!" Instructions: When your coworker leaves their desk, open a web browser and search for "fake error message generator." Use one that creates a pop-up-style message. Write something funny like, “Sorry, but Zoom has decided you’re too fun to leave!” Set it to full-screen mode to block their usual Zoom controls. When they return, watch as they try to figure out how to leave the meeting. Reveal the joke quickly to avoid actual frustration.
