Beep .... Beep .... Beep ................ BEEP!


How many of you know someone who annoys the crap out of you? It may be the way they talk or how loud they play their music. But in any case it makes you want to wrap your hands around their throat and strangle them to death. That however would be illegal and you probably would be sent to the big house, so how about something more conventional like
The ThinkGeek Annoy-a-tron.

The Annoy-a-tron does exactly what it was named for, it annoys. It is not much bigger than a quarter but packs a loud obnoxious beep. The Annoy-a-tron comes with a magnet on it so you can easily hide it when you are ready to get your revenge. The gadget is programmed to give off a beep every couple of minutes. This would seem to be really easy to find then because you could just time it and listen to where it is located but you cannot. It is programmed to change the interval in which it goes off after each beep. That means that it could go off then go off again in two minutes and then not go off for another four minutes. No one would be able to listen to help pin point the location of the device because they would know when it was to go off next. You can also adjust the volume of the beep, the load the more annoying it is to your victim.

Let me paint a picture of this sinister device in action. You go over to your roommate’s desk and place the Annoy-a-tron on the bottom of the table top. You chose the frequency, which is also the volume of the beep, and turn it on. They come back and sit down to start doing their homework. Within a few minutes you hear a beep. Your roommate looks around and asks you if you heard anything. You say no and let the fun continue. A couple of minutes later another beep. After about an hour of beeping, your roommate flips out and says he cannot take it anymore. He gathers his stuff and walks out while you celebrate your victory.

This gadget would be a great deal of fun but be careful you never know when it might be you hearing the ongoing BEEP.
