I have a friend who lived in a college dorm room a few years back.
Two of his roommates slept in a bunk bed and
had identical electric blankets.  One afternoon my friend
swapped the blanket controls so that each bed had the control to the
other bed's blanket.

It was an interesting night.  The guy in one bunk was a little chilly,
so he turned up his (he thought) blanket control.  This warmed up the
fellow in the other bunk who then turned down his (he thought) control.
Naturally, this chilled the first guy, who then turned up his control
again.  After a few rounds of this, they were both quite uncomfortable.

As I recall, the roommates retaliated by borrowing 8 or 10 alarm clocks
from other residents.  They hid the clocks throughout the room, set to
go off every hour or so all night long.
