Nice. The other one that people might not notice is to change the numbers on the keypad so that the 1 2 3 row is along the top, and the 7 8 9 row along the bottom.
I did that once and a coworker made me pay for it. He told IT he couldn't log in (apparently there happened to be other network issues at the time, coincidentally) so they started troubleshooting down a different path. It wasted a few hours if their time before he noticed the M/N were switched. Anyway, he tried to calm things down (he said). But the IT guy was so pissed he sent a company wide email asking who did it.
I was out of the office during this time and didn't know how crazy it was getting. Our division VP got involved and started going door to door trying to find out who did it. I got a big slap on the wrist when I got back and saw the shit storm but it definitely caused strife between me, my friend, the VP, and the IT crew for some time.
