At work we have a access role that is for truck drivers so that their laptop screens lock every 5 min and they have to log into it again. I know the IT security team that bulkloads this access for new hires so I had them add it to this one lady who talks down to every single person who is a contractor.
Drove her INSANE for a full day. When they found out the source all that team said was the list they were given by transportation team must have accidentally added her ID to that list.

do what Bhudda would do and remove yourself from the situation - fucking with her will only rile her up and have her doing more to you. Practice the fine-art of office tai-chi and deflect her insults/emails/comments by ignoring them - or best - feigning respect and interest. Don't like the little people bother you :-)

Just wanted to give you an update. I planted the sound transistor at "Dwight"'s desk about a month ago. An all company email she wrote today makes it look like it paid off:
"If you have been hearing a sound as if you’ve made an error in an application every 10 minutes, but no error message pops up, please let me know.
Please only reply if it IS happening to your computer.
Thanks,
XXXXX"Then later...
"I’ve opened a ticket with the helpdesk and they are escalating this. If you’d like to check the status of this request, it’s ticket: XXXXXX.
Feel free to call in to escalate the ticket as well. This is so annoying.
XXXXX"
bwahahahahah - that's whatsup you stoopid fatty-ass!

Talk about a new type of advanced computer virus within earshot of this person - perhaps mention it can be spread via any ordinary email not just spam.
Following day.
Screen Grab of the desktop. Remove all existing icons from the desktop. Set screengrab as wallpaper. Sit back and enjoy the panic. Bonus - you'll drive IT mad too.- we did that in the 90's to the account staff at one agency...vaxorcist

^ Of course, the only problem with this approach is that if your bosses don't think it's a big deal, then you're painting a big target on your ass if you end up resorting to childish pranks instead.

I'm just throwing this out there, but...
Couldn't you just go to the higher-ups and tell them that you don't appreciate being talked down to a regular basis?
Someone who says, "I will call the tow trucks on you if you have an improper badge," or "you will be terminated" in bright red all caps, is probably over-stepping their fucking power boundaries. If I was the boss and some nitwit employee was sending around emails like that, I would fire them without question. The workplace should be a a neutral zone where people are in accord, not where it's a psychological stand-off every day.
- bah. go with the pranks.johnny_wobble
