That reminds me of the time when I was in college and I was home for the weekend and screwed with the TV just to drive my father nuts. My father is a channel surfing freak and will instantly turn the channel when a commercial comes on so it is nearly impossible to watch a complete show of anything with him in control of the remote. So with that in mind one night I re-programmed the TV - I deleted all the channels I new he watched and left only the crap like CSPAN, the home shopping club and religious channel and those sorts of things, I also changed the language setting to spanish. In doing so the channel would jump/skip over many channels when he would start his surfing episodes - which really pissed him off and then all the help screens and menus where in spanish which pissed him off even more. Well he finally figured out that if he hit "0" "4" "enter" he could get channel 4, and then "0" "5" "enter" he could get channel 5, but my father is not a patient person so this just drove him nuts. At first he had my mother call the cable company because he thought it was an issue with them. After about 2 days of this I get a call at school from my mother. She is trying to ask me what could possibly be wrong with the TV - as dad thought it may need to be replaced, and I hear him cursing profusely in the background! My mother really didn't care because she didn't watch much TV. I'm laughing over the phone because I hear my father in a rant about this stupid, GD, MF'n TV! He was more than just a little pissed off over the whole thing. I explained to mom how to correct the settings on the TV simply to restore some sanity to the house. Everybody, but dad, got a really good laugh out of the whole thing. So every once in a while when he gets full of himself - I just look at him and tell him he better not screw with me or I will screw with the TV again! Some day my kids will do what SD stated above to my cell and I won't have the slightest idea on how to fix it either!
Screw with my father?
I learned one time at age 15, and never did that again. He punched me so fricken hard i was out for a 1/2 hr and he knocked me out of both my shoes.
