What would be very interesting is to set up an open WiFi access point which alters any HTTP response from an unknown MAC address, inserting a local copy of the script tag right before the /head tag. You could also prank your friends with this by installing it as a GreaseMonkey script or a Chrome extension.

Add another keyboard pest that overrides all of the default keyboard shortcuts in the browser.<p>I've been watching the Firefox people debate whether this is a bug since 2007.<p><a href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380637" rel="nofollow">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380637</a>

For a better look into all the ways default javascript functionality can annoy your visitors, I wrote an all-encompassing script about two years ago called annoying.js: <a href="https://gist.github.com/Kilian/767982" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/Kilian/767982</a> featuring classics such as disabling right mouse click, text selection and leaving the page!

I often open randomly interesting news here on HN. In my office we couldn't recognize the source of the sound until I checked all of my 20 tabs in chrome :D cool script bro

An option to turn on the mouse pest would be good, I'd like to see how well it works.

Oh great now we can emulate IE behavior in Chrome!

I'm assuming they mean "run someone other than a programmer's day with JavaScript"?

You could add CPU pest: Run some really hard working javascript to make the whole browser slow and unresponsive.

This is great!<p>Left the tab open after opening - kept hearing that damn beeping sound!

Ah, more ammunition to use to convince people to use NoScript. Thanks!
