    I have a couple of keyring-sized universal TV remotes - they can be a lot of fun, if you don't mind being a total dick.

    Many years ago I hid with my Dad behind some shelves in a spanish supermarket and turned off a wall of TVs that were on sale, much to the bewilderment of the shop assistants, who came and turned them on again one by one as I kept the auto button pressed and other TVs switched off in turn. It was a bit cruel for the hard-working staff, but fuck if my Dad and me weren't in stitiches.

    Biggest dickhead thing I did was turn off a football match in a busy pub right before a goal. Same match my friend cried and stormed out of the pub angry at me because I wasn't nearly do devastated about West Ham's loss. I mean, it shouldn't've been a surprise...

    • I actually had a project in mind when failing to learn electronics - I wanted to beef up the IR diode and boost its range. Never did, of course.Nairn
    • Tv-bgone was the best 15$ I ever spent. Great for getting a table near a tv at a busy pub, if you know what I mean ;).BH26
