Think of comments pointing out problems without offering solutions, unnecessary edits just for the sake of \u201ccontributing\u201d, nonsense additions because of the misunderstood points, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What we\u2019re trying to say is that being on the same page literally doesn\u2019t always mean being on the same page metaphorically.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We understand that when something like that happens you need to let off some steam before you burn out and go berserk in the office<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> place<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good news: there\u2019s a better way to go about this than being openly rude and making enemies out of your annoying co-workers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pulling a lighthearted Google Docs prank can help you laugh your frustration off. Stay persistent and you\u2019ll see just how quick your colleagues can drop those pesky habits. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, here are a few tips you can use to achieve your personal Google Docs collaboration zen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7953\" src=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Google-Docs-Collaboration-Zen.jpeg\" alt=\"Google Docs Annoying Tricks\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Google-Docs-Collaboration-Zen.jpeg 640w, https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Google-Docs-Collaboration-Zen-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Real-Time Collaboration Annoying Moves<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s no better way to make your colleagues uncomfortable while collaborating in real time than to make it look like you are watching what they do in the file all the time. Just leave the Google Doc document open even when you are not working on it and let the little icon with the first letter of your name do all the work. To step it up a notch, you could highlight part of the text and leave it highlighted for hours without doing anything. Let them guess will you move it, comment on it, delete it, etc. If nothing else, it\u2019ll definitely block their thought process for a while.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to actively annoy your co-workers, try rewriting their sentence and correct mistakes even before they finish it. Furthermore, you can insert an image or large paragraph of text above what they are typing. By doing so, their work will keep jumping down the document and they\u2019ll keep losing track of their cursor position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This tip can be used both for being more productive while working in Google Docs as well as for annoying collaborators. Highlight the whole paragraph and instead of good old copy-paste routine, press <\/span><b>Alt and Shift<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (or <\/span><b>Option-Shift on Mac<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) and then use keyboard up and down arrows to move the whole section. Believe us when we tell you that those \u201cdancing\u201d paragraphs can be really disturbing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don\u2019t like the edits your co-workers did to your text, just go into revision history and restore the older, unedited version. We can bet that your collaborator won\u2019t be able to recall all the \u201cbrilliant\u201d ideas he or she had regarding your work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One more thing you can do to overwhelm your annoying colleague is to write multiple comments throughout the document without submitting. Then go from the top and comment all at once. For the icing on your passive-aggressive cake, ask a question about the portion of text your co-worker contributed, but add a third person to the discussion and ask for the \u201cexpert opinion\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bonus tip 1:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Take a look at some of the handiest <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/archives\/5095-google-add-ons-writing-papers.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Docs add-ons<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for creating complex documents online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-7954\" src=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Office-Fun-1024x682.jpeg\" alt=\"Funny Google Docs Prank\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Office-Fun-1024x682.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Office-Fun-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Office-Fun-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/Office-Fun.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hit Them When They<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2019re<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Not Watching<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These tactics can really infuriate annoying collaborators. For example, change their document access to \u201cview only\u201d once they finish editing and commenting your work. When they ask what happened, just act cool and propose to send their feedback via email.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you see a comment you don\u2019t like, resolve it without doing anything in the document. Again, the trick is to act like you never saw the comment in question.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you would like to make it impossible for your co-workers to find a certain document, rename it and watch them suffer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And lastly, you can employ one useful trick in Google Docs for a different purpose than intended by developers. When you put a <\/span><b>&#8216;+&#8217;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> symbol and type in the email address of annoying collaborator in the comment, Google Docs will send an email notification to the tagged person. Doing this, you can get a sense of how quickly you can overload some inboxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Bonus tip 2:\u00a0<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learn how you can <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.investintech.com\/resources\/blog\/archives\/5578-sign-pdf-documents.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sign documents with Google Docs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having Some Fun: Google Docs Prank<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google Docs comes with a built-in auto-correct feature which you can use to your advantage.
