Annoy-a-tron

What it is: A tiny device that you can hide to annoy friends and co-workers. It emits high-pitched beeps at random intervals.

Why we love it: If you derive pleasure from watching your friends and co-workers slowly go mad, try the Annoy-a-tron and soon you will be giggling with delight. The Annoy-a-tron generates a short (but very annoying, hence the name) beep every few minutes. Your unsuspecting target will have a hard time locating the source of these random beeps because they vary in intervals ranging from 2 to 8 minutes. The 2kHz sound is generically annoying enough, but if you really want to aggravate somebody, select the 12 kHz sound. Trust us. The higher frequency and slight 'electronic noise' built into that sound byte will make a full-grown Admin wonder where his packets are. It has an embedded magnet for easy hiding and takes one CR2032 battery (included). It will run for 3 to 4 weeks on a single battery.

Who we'd give it to: Anyone with a twisted sense of humor who wants to play a classic gag on an unsuspecting co-worker or friend.

Where to get it: From Thinkgeek.com for a fiendishly funny $9.99.
