No pics but being the child I am I take great pleasure in increasing the volume to maximum on self-service check-outs because the ones at my local Sainsburys are loud as f

. My efforts were rewarded last night when the one I'd increased the night before was being used by some scrubber and upon inserting their bank card the machine bellowed 
CARD DECLINED! at approx 100dB, much to their embarrassment and my immense amusement 
. Everyone tries not to look round and ignore it the first time, but the icing on the cake was them trying a further 2 cards which both received the same treatment and by that point there were plenty of disgusted glances from the onlookers . I could see them wanting to make a break for the door and abandon their shopping but instead they managed to round up some cash between them and pay that way.

A bit more evil than my son's habit of setting all the eggtimers in the cookery section to go off at random timesk .

Back when tape cassettes were still for sale, we used to look for a player with rewind-and-play-from-start feature on. Hit that and crank the volume to full and hope there was enough tape left to get out of the department !
A guy I used to work with claimed to make up cassette tapes and take them to the local dept store to play.He'd crank up the volume on one of the many stereos, insert the tape, press play and do a runner.
After 30 secs of nothing there'd be "
Oi! all you s in Bentalls can suck the snot from my cheesy bang stick! Lick my balls! etc etc etc" He'd be looking on sniggering as the shop staff were rushing around manically trying to find out where it was coming from.
In the old Woolworth's in High Wycombe which was over two floors, my then six year old pressed the emergency stop button on the escalator as he passed. It was set stupidly low and he did it almost casually. The yells from the people on the staircase proved that emergency stop is instant!

Where's the volume control?.gtidriver said:
Every time we go to Range my son makes for the egg timers,i help by keeping watch. Ikea used to be the best place to do this but they changed them to electronic ones that are sealed, spoilsports.
it might be possible that I still do this....Also lettered cushions in M&S - KNOB (followed by an exasperated look from the long suffering Mrs Iroc)

Shops, fridge magnets and alphabetti-spaghetti (which i still eat proudly) all require this treatment.
