Technology drives us nuts! Who's doesn't get INSTANT RAGE when Netflix starts buffering. AHHHHHHH!

What's even more annoying is when your friends use technology against you. MTV's brand new show Bugging Out proves that nothing gets people madder than machines not working. 

Here are 11 pranks to play on your pals to bug them out BIG STYLE! 

1. Rearrange their computer's keyboard keys

A classic prank that will mess with their minds, and fingers. 

2. Block their mouse sensor

This mouse trap will really cheese them off. 

3. Ghost mouse

Haunt your victim using the power of wireless technology.

4. Make their mouse pointer busy. Forever!

Guaranteed to cause a mental meltdown. Just jump into their computer's mouse settings. Easy! 

5. Desktop screengrab

Take a screengrab of your victim's desktop. Quickly hide all of their folders and set the screengrab as their wallpaper. They will click but nothing will happen. Genius! 

6. Contacts switch

Simple and such LOLs. 

7. iPhone autocorrect

Seriously hack your friends off! Open up their iPhone's settings and cause chaos.

8. Invert the colours on their iPhone

Watch them scream in panic when they think they have to replace their £600 phone. Hilarious! 

9. Broken screen 

Replace their phone's wallpaper with one that looks cracked. Have tissues ready because iBet they start crying.

10. The classic Frape

The original and best! When they've left themselves logged into Facebook... the fun begins. 

11. Computer game password change

When a gamer can't game, leave the room!
