Matt's Annoy-A-Tron

This is Matt's newest toy that he bought for himself off of thinkgeek.com. The Annoy-A-Tron 2.0. What it does is it sounds a short noise at random intervals. He went for the deluxe version with a volume control and multiple noise settings. It's also a handy magnet so you can stick it in out of the way places. You hide it away and just let it make it's noises all day. The purpose is of course to annoy people into saying "What the heck is that noise!?"

Matt was super excited when he got it and told me about it. I'm the geek that told Matt about thinkgeek.com so I won't be one of his victims.


He chose to use new student Craig as the guinea pig. He was super crafty about hiding it. He opened Craig's computer case and put it inside so it would seem like the noises were coming from his computer.

Unfortunately Craig completely ignored all the noises from the machine. All day long it went off and Craig didn't even acknowledge it. Matt sits right next to Craig and said he could hear the beeping going off clear as day and didn't understand how Craig could just ignore it.

Matt stepped up his game and hid the chip outside of Craig's computer and turned up the volume thinking he had to hear it now. He left it there for a week. Again Craig completely ignored the noise and Matt was in the next cube hearing it all day.

Right now the only one annoyed by the Annoy-A-Tron is Matt. I think it's hilarious! I believe he's given up on Craig and plans to try and get Karen with the device next.
