This happened to me at work, a coworker planted a listening device in a wooden mallard and gave it to me as a gift. He was trying to collect evidence against me for attempted blackmail. I put my phone next to it and heard the staticky feedback which gave it away.

What tha heck? You can't just leave us hanging, How'd that play out?

[-] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 30 points 3 months ago

Haha I was just kidding, that was a plotline on The Office.

Why would a listening device have speakers though?

[-] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 20 points 3 months ago

Because he used a walkie talkie in the wooden mallard as a listening device and it was actually from an episode of The Office

Haha no? What kind of a psychopath would use a secondary listening device?
