Passwords and pranks

One day, Bob was having a terrible day. He woke up late for work, spilled coffee all over his shirt, and forgot his lunch on the kitchen counter. But things only got worse when he sat down at his desk and tried to log into his computer.

"Invalid password," the screen read.

Bob groaned and tried again, but no luck. He had a feeling he knew what had happened - his coworker Sarah had a habit of changing everyone's passwords as a joke. And sure enough, when he asked her about it, she just grinned and said, "Yeah, I reset your password. It's 'unicorn1234'. You're welcome."

Bob sighed and changed his password, but as he was doing so, he noticed something strange. All of his files had been renamed with ridiculous titles, like "Bob's embarrassing selfies" and "Bob's love letters to his plant".

He confronted Sarah, who just laughed and said, "Hey, I was just trying to lighten the mood. You seemed so stressed out this morning."

Bob couldn't help but laugh, and in that moment, he realized that even on his worst days, he could always count on his coworkers to bring a little bit of absurdity into his life. And from then on, he made sure to always reset his password before Sarah had the chance to do it for him.

The next day, Bob made sure to reset his password as soon as he sat down at his desk. He was determined not to let Sarah catch him off guard again. But as he was typing in his new password, he noticed something even stranger. All of his desktop icons had been replaced with pictures of ducks.

Bob shook his head and clicked on the icon for his email, only to find that his inbox was filled with messages from a mysterious sender called "The Great Duck of the Internet". Each message contained a riddle or a joke about ducks, and Bob couldn't help but chuckle as he read through them.

He had a feeling he knew who was behind this prank, and when he turned around to confront Sarah, she was already grinning at him. "I couldn't resist," she said. "You were just too easy."

Bob rolled his eyes and changed his desktop background to a picture of a grumpy cat, just to get back at Sarah. But he knew deep down that he secretly enjoyed the never-ending cycle of pranks and password resets that went on in their office. It made the workday a little bit more bearable, and he was grateful to have such a fun-loving team.

As the days went on, Bob and Sarah's pranks only got more elaborate. Bob started hiding Sarah's stapler in the office fridge, and Sarah retaliated by replacing Bob's mouse with a toy car. But the funniest prank of all came when they both teamed up to replace the office's coffee machine with a life-size cardboard cutout of their boss, complete with a recorded message that said, "I'm sorry, I'm not here right now. Please leave your coffee request and I'll get back to you as soon as possible."

The whole office was in stitches when they saw the cutout, and even their boss couldn't help but laugh when she found out what had happened. From that day on, the office became a much more lighthearted and fun place to be, and Bob couldn't believe how much a simple prank could brighten his day.

But every once in a while, when he was feeling particularly forgetful, Bob would still find himself locked out of his computer and having to reset his password. And each time, he couldn't help but smile, knowing that it was just another chance to have some fun with his coworkers. The end.
